:?: Why is BusinessObjects telling me that my 'variables are not compatible?

:!: A “combined block” that contains data from more than one data provider can only have objects that meet one of the following criteria:[list]1. A dimension object that is linked
2. A detail object associated with a linked dimension object
3. Any measure object
4. Any additional dimension object (unlinked) from a single (one only) data provider[/list]You may not include:
[list]1. Unlinked dimensions from two (or more) data providers
2. Detail objects that are not associated with a valid dimension object that can be used[/list]Note that measure objects are always allowed, but may or may not provide the proper value based on the linked (or lack of of linked) dimensions.
