Multiple Datasets

I have created several reports that use multiple datasets. I have
found two errors and I need help.
First, is there a way to define the order in which the datasets are
executed? In some of my reports, the first dataset populates a table
that the remaining datasets query from. However, when I run the
report, it is obvious that it executes some of the datasets that query
from the table BEFORE it runs the dataset that actually populates the
table.
Second, it seems like when my users run a report with multiple datasets
from the front-end, it only runs the one of the datasets and uses the
cashed results for the remaining datasets. For example, I have a
report that counts calls and mail received per a certain account. The
account is a parameter that the user selects. If they run the report
for Account A, then dataset 1 returns a value of 500, dataset B returns
a value of 250 and dataset C returns a value of 100. Then, when the
user runs the report for Account B, dataset 1 returns a value of 999
(which is the correct result), but dataset 2 returns a value of 500
(the result for Account A, not Account B) and dataset 3 returns a value
of 100 (the result for Account A, not Account B). The only way to get
the report to execute all three datasets, is by running the report
once, then hitting the refresh button. Anyone else have this problem?
I would appreciate any responses.
Thanks!You can not count on order of execution. RS is not setup to have
dependencies between datasets like you are trying to do. If that is what you
want then you should create subreports and use them instead. Everything
should work exactly as you want if you do that.
