Master-Detail problem

Hi, I downloaded your trial. I'm having this problem: I am making a master detail report with mysql as datasource.
I have the 2 selects, one for master and one for detail as two datasrouces, and I create the relation too.
I have a databand with the first datasource as data source and a second databand with data source set to the second datasource, Data relation set to my created relation and finally the master component property set to the first databand.
The problem I have is that in the detail databand the report shows the records associated to de corresponding master record AND after that it shows all the other detail records as there were no filter from the relation.
All samples with master detail reports have a xml data source.
Is this a problem with mysql or I am doing something wrong? Could you send me a sample?
Thanks in advance.
Carlos

I found the problem. In my tables I have a composite PK with 2 fields and it seems that, even I can define the 2 fields in the relation, when the report is rendered the relation with 2 fileds doesn't work ok.
I solved the problem creating a new field in the SELECT statement with CONCAT(pkField1, '_', pkField2) as id and creating the relation with that new field.
