HI,

Please reply ASAP.

No, that's not possible. Cognos cannot use Qlikview documents as data sources.

No direct connect. You can do a 'batch export' of the QVW to TXT format. 

Write a QVW load script that:

1. binary loads a QVW

2. Use the STORE command to export each table to TXT format

3. Drop all tables

Then Cognos could connect to TXT data through a SQLenabled /ODBC Text driver.  In this situation the data source is TXT , not QV.
