Support for nested datasets

edited July 2001 in General
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.

    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.

    Wayne.
