datadictionary multiple databases?

edited October 2002 in End User
Am I correct in thinking that the datadictionary can only contain tables
from one directory, and if so, is there a way around that?

    The data dictionary gets its information from three datasets, one for the
    tables, fields and joins respectively. This information is used by the data
    workspace (DADE) to generate the available tables and fields lists and help
    with auotjoin relationships. DADE can only connect to a single database at
    one time. If you want to use data from multiple databases in a single
    report, then you'll have to use standard data access components on a
    form/datamodule and surface these other datasets to RB using datapipelines
    on the form/datamodule without using DADE.
