containers and subreports

Is it possible to have a sub report in a databand that is a container of another databand?
example:
databand1 contains a container, the container contains databand2, and databand2 contains a sub report.
For now when I try to add a sub report in the container, its not connecting to the databand2, do I need to set a property? Instead the sub report is going under databand1.

Also, is it possible to have a container that contains a databand with columns? If yes, is there any properties that need to be changed because by default I am not able to add columns to a databand that is in a container.

You will be able to place the subreport inside the container only in the new version of our engine and this question is under development right now. Thank you. I think this feature will be available not earlier than in three weeks.

Yes, it is possible in latest prerelease build which is available on our site for downloading. These prerelease contains new version of the report engine which allows you to do that. To switch to the new engine, in the report properties in the Designer please change EngineVersion property from 'EngineV1' to 'EngineV2'.

Thank you.
