Master/Detail with two datasets

I just got fastreports a while ago and I'm having some trouble getting a Master/Detail relationship working between two datasets. I'm not even sure if this is possible although it would seem odd if it's not. I could just be missing some obvious thing but none of the demos seem to address this problem.

The master and detail datasets contains all the records used by the report ahead of time. However, I don't see any place to specify a key field for detail dataset or the field it is dependent on in the master dataset. I've done this kind of thing with grids like devexpress but I'm stumped on this report builder.

Is there any way to do this? Note that I'm using a memory resident dataset (devexpress' memdataset).

    Well I kind of fixed the problem, or at least avoided it. I switched the dataset from the devexpress memdataset to the kbmMemTable which has the ability to link two datasets together as Master/Detail. Works perfectly now.
