Sounds like a nice project to work on. Yeah writing a custom partition would give you a lot of power. It is the right place to start. First thing just take a look at the Partition interface in the partition package. You'll have to implement this for your EIS application. Best thing to do might be to first stub out all the methods and set things up so you can just read a simple entry after installing the partition into the server. Then you can move on to start building up your solution. Regards, Alex
