Problem creating new reports : Missing data sources

Hi!

I have a problem creating Crystal Reports, because designer shows no data sources.

I have my solution divided in 2 projects : (user interface) UI and (data) DAL. I have all my datasets defined in DAL and I want reports to be in UI (UI has DAL included as reference). But when creating a new report in UI it doesn't display any of DALs DataSets (It works just fine if I create new report in DAL).

Any suggestions how to fix this How do I tell VS that datasources are in other project


ps: I'm using VS 2005

    Has this been changed form vs2003 to vs2005 Because we have an old project created in VS2003 where DataSets are in one project and crystal reports in other.

    It is by design.  The report has to be created in the same project as dataset is stored.
