Specify a specific Dataset to use [message #139842]

How do I specify that I want to use a specific dataSet other than the one
that I'm in? My outer report uses a different dataSet than my inner
report.

Something like this, but I can't quite get the right syntax.
report.dataSet["outer"].row["key"]

I'm not sure it matters, but I just want to be sure that you're aware that
my outer report not only uses a different dataSet, it also uses a
different dataSource.

You can use the "rows" property to refer to an outer data set from an inner
table. "rows[0]" refers to the "row" object of the outermost table's data
set, "rows[1]" the 1st level inner table, etc.
It's not possible to refer to an inner table's data set from an outer
table's elements.
