Hi Mohamad.

Powerhouse is not really designed to do this type of thing easily, especially
the fully 4GL components like Quiz and QTP. Quick does give you a bit more scope
in this area.

I think it would be very usefull for you to attend at least the basic Powerhouse
course in order to understand the basics of Powerhouse architecture. Cognos runs
these courses quite regularly.

As far as your current problem is concerned, I think it would be useful for you
to describe the actual business requirement, i.e. WHAT you need to achieve,
rather then how you plan to achieve it. Then, we may be able to provide a
solution consistant with the way Powerhouse works. You may be surprised how easy
it is.
