FR supports any TDataSet-based DB engine.

I am new to fast reports and like it so far. In another posting someone said that "FR supports any TDataSet-based DB engine." That's cool. I'm trying to create a master/detail type of report using a database not supported by FR but is of course a TDataset-based db. I want to construct a query in my delphi code and somehow manage to get FR to pull the data from the query in delphi and report in a master/detail type of report. I don't want my end users to have to construct a query in SQL. I have to do to that. Any help here would be constructive.

    look at the reports in the main demo
    under basic reports neste groups and masterdetail subdetail.
    they connect to data(query,tables) using frxdbdatasets in the datamodule.
    while data bands use names of master detail don't let that fool you, bands are only place holders on a design pagem think of them as data of level1, level2, etc.. the actual data relationships between tables is done at the datmodule level.
    read the programmers manual as working from delphi,
    the users manual as working within the report.
