Multiple datasets embedded within each other..

I have a dilemma. I am creating an invoice report with a fairly
complicated hierarchy.
I have it working so far. All the invoice elements are doing fine
except the taxes. Because of business requirements, it is not possible
for me to get everything in a single dataset. My invoice may have 40
lines. Some of those lines are taxable and some are not. Taxes might
include 1 type of tax of 5 types of tax.
So i need to get the tax in a separate dataset. What I need to know is
if it is possible to embed one dataset inside another based on a
filter (the ID field used to link the taxes to a line for example).
I know I can reference certain fields in other datasets, but I have an
unknown number of tax lines I have to embed into my existing dataset
in the report. I couldn't find any information on this so if osmeone
can point me in the right direction or flat out tell me its not
possible I would appreciate it.
Thanks.What you want is to embed a subreport in a cell of the report table (or onto
your list control). This subreport can have just a single field if you want.
Have the subreport parameters (remember a subreport is just a regular
report) be whatever values you need to calculate the tax. Test the report
standalone and then drag and drop the report into the cell of the report
control (if that is what you are using). Then do a right mouse click on the
subreport and map the parameters.
