Is there a way to create a new DME object and blend data (More like construct the new DME) from the other DME pulls.  I'm trying to create a way for users to dynamically and on demand see the the requisition approval matrix but because the information sits in tables that can't connect naturally (RQ/WF) I can't create the DME through the normal process.
I want to display the full matrix not just a specific department so doing a two step process is out. (ie..Click RQLOC record and then display app rovers for that department) 

If anyone has done something similar I would love some insight.

Thanks
Robert

A couple of options jump out at me.

1 - You can gather your informaiton with DME calls (not the DME object) and post it in a TextArea.

2 - You can add fields you don't really need on your DME object and then overwrite their values with the results of a your secondary DME call.

I thought of option 2 but it didn't seem very elegant. Have you ever created an HTML dynamically and passed it to the web object? My thought is that maybe I can create a web page instead. Just a thought.

Thanks
