creating a web part in SharePoint 2003

I am not 100% clear on your requirements... Do you want to see lists of the documents, or is the idea of 1/2 of the screen would be an open document? (not sure why you would want 1/2 the screen dedicated to a single file if its just a link...)

Are all the documents/document libraries located on the same site?

I want the user to see the usual "shared documents" with the associated files, while the other web part has a heading say " local reports" with maybe the files or a link to the files which are located in another document library. No, all the documents/document libraries are on different sites.

You could try doing something with a content query web part and JQuery (javascript). The first portion "showing the usual SharedDocs" shouldn't be too difficult. Then you could create another web part and target it to your Executive (targeting allows the contents to be rendered to only specific users). the contents of this web part would be Javascript code that would query your other lists and show links to the other documents. I have done this in the past using SPServices from codeplex (it is a JQuery plugin for SharePoint Services)

Hello,

not sure I understand the question. Why not just create a web part page with the two web parts side by side?

...here is a quick write-up on using JQuery/SPServices within SharePoint...

I want to personalize this view on an ipad, is this possible?
