  Answer 1:
  Yes it is possible. Just put a frxDBDataset and set the dataset to TAdoDataset.
  You didn''t need to define the Lookup/Calculated again. All field (data, lookup and calculated) automatic appear in frxDBDataset.
  
  If your Tadodataset/Tadotable (or any dataset) located in Data Module you just need to add the data module in the form (Press Alt F11 and select the Data module).
  
  Answer 2:
  
  I think FR have no support for 2D but you can use an ActiveX component that provide 2D barcode.

  hi,
  
  Do i still need to add a FastReport ADOdatabase and ADOtable
  component to the report because otherwise i can't see my
  fields from the datamodule.
  
  What i did :
  1. on the main form put a frxDBDataset and set frxDBDataset.Dataset to my
  table (tbl_ticket) on the datamodule ( is see the fields now)
  
  2. on the main form put a frxReport and set frxReport.Dataset to frxDBDataset
  
  3. right clik on the frxReport. Pressing Alt F11 let me nothing select but only
  got the message that all modules already added. For making my fields
  visible on my frxReport i have to add a ADOdatabase and ADOtable.
  
  What am i doing wrong at this point because when adding a ADOdatabase i have
  to select the complete path where the database can be found, and that's not
  what i want.

  a. Put frxReport and don't set frxReport.Dataset (just let it blank!).
  c. Put frxDBDataset then set frxDBDataset.Dataset to your delphi Dataset

  a. Double click frxReport to open it.
  b. Click menu Report-Data.. you will see your frxDBDataset and select it.
  c. Now, on Data tree you see all the field from your dataset (View-toolbar-data tree).
