I think I've identified a bug with having two datasets with the same column  
names. 
 
- I have a list with a binded dataset with a column called "Name" 
- I have a nested table within this list that also has a different binded  
dataset with a column called "Name". 
- I changed the first dataset to use alias of "PersonName". 
 
When I try to output row["PersonName"] in the table, it's throwing an error.  
If I try outputting any of the other columns from the first dataset, it  
works fine.....only errors out on the column with the alias.  I'm able to  
output row["PersonName"] in the list, but not in the listed table. 
 
Can someone verify that this is a bug?  Or, tell me what I'm doing wrong??? 
 
Thanks!!

Since your inner table has its own data set, you can only use "row" to 
access its data set, which according to your description does not contain 
the PersonName column. 
To access the outer list's row data within the inner table, use the "rows" 
variable. Try ( rows[0]["PersonName"]  ). Does this help?
