Hi,

I've been working for a month now with PowerHouse. And it's probably why I
can't do what I want to do... Most probably I'm not doiing it the
"PowerHouse way". It's probably simple, but right now I can't figure how to
do it...

So here it goes.

What I'm trying to do is to re-use a nomal screen, used to access (let's
say) a inventory data file, to be able to do batch creation. An exemple
would be eaiser said...

Let's say I get 100 pc, they all are the same. What I would like to do it's
to use the inventory screen to enter all the common value shared by all the
pc and then instead of typing Update at the action field, the user would
type something like UB (for Update Batch) then input the inventory range
number and voil� a batch job is lunch in QTP and the creation is on it's
way.

The problem reside when I want to let the user input the inventory start and
end value for the equipement. I can't seem to be able to get it to work.
Since I don't want these field in the screen itself, I can't (or at least I
haven't found a way to) let the user input them from the designer procedure.
I've tried to call a subscreen to be use to input the value, but there again
I can't return a value like a confirmation to proceed...

I thought there could be a way to do this by storing the value in the
parameter passing file (direct access file that is at this location to pass
parameter to the reports), but then again, I did not find any way to go back
and read that file after comming back from that screen... (I need to read it
to be sure I need to proceed).

Like I said, I probably am not doiing it the "PowerHouse way" that is why
I'm having so much trouble doiing it.

Also I was wondering if QTP would be able to create record for the
inventory, giving a start and end value??

Well, enought, hope you can help.

Thank's in advance to all the answers!
