The data dictionary gets its information from three datasets, one for the tables, fields and joins respectively. This information is used by the data workspace (DADE) to generate the available tables and fields lists and help with auotjoin relationships. DADE can only connect to a single database at one time. If you want to use data from multiple databases in a single report, then you'll have to use standard data access components on a form/datamodule and surface these other datasets to RB using datapipelines on the form/datamodule without using DADE.
