Using multiple databases in Crystal Reports 11

I have created a report in Crystal 11.  I have connected 2 different databases using a common field to connect them. The first set of tables pulls from the main database and they are working correctly.  I am also trying to create a chart within the report that pulls information from the 2nd database. I have tried the sub report option and I still can not get it to work correctly.  I don't know if this just can't be done or if I have placed the sub-report in the wrong place (report footer).  I have also tried to add a new Group to the report and then add the chart in that area to pull from the second different databse but the information in the chart never appears corretly.

I have built the chart in it's own report and it is displaying the information accurately.  What I was trying to acheive was to keep it all on one page so it will print front and back. When I do it as a subreport that is where I don't think I may be placing it correctly.
Where did you place it?

Did you link the subreport to the main report using the group field?

I placed it in the report footer.  I don't know how to link it to the main report other than placing it in the Report Footer.  Is there something else I need to do?

Ok this worked....almost. Report shows correctly on 1st page is correct, then the 2nd page just shows a box which I beleive is the sub-report linked field. Then there is a third page that shows my chart which has CORRECT info in it. YEAH!!!!!!!  And then there is a 4th blank page like page 2. Is there a way I can get rid of the 2nd & 4th pages?
