Support for nested datasets

rbuser

I was doing some research on using nested datasets within TClientdatasets,
and came across this message with respect to ReportBuilder's support of
nested datasets:

"It should be noted that report builder will not support the nested datasets
functionality. Master/Detail is fine, but nested datsets are not."

Is this correct?

Thanks.

Yes.

Hi Nard.

Nard, as I indicated, I am just learning about nested datasets. It seems
that you can attach a clientdataset to the datafield containing the nested
dataset, thereby accessing the nested dataset as you would normally. Can
ReportBuilder access such a clientdataset?

I guess I am wondering if there is a distinction between accessing a nested
dataset directly, as opposed to accessing a nested dataset via the datafield
of a clientdataset (i.e., a clientdataset that is based upon the datafield
of the nested dataset). I hope that is a bit more clear than mud.
