Problem with External DataSet

[Susanna Wiedemann]

hi guys

i have a problem with the telerik report designer.
we have a 2 tier application, containing a GUI layer and a DAL layer.
for the reports we created a new library because not all customers use the same reports.
the reports library has a reference to the DAL library. i created a new report and choose the dataset
from the DAL library.

a dataset and a tableadapter are inserted from the toolbox to the report. when I run the software, the report works fine.
but when i click the preview tab in the design mode, no data is displayed.

if the dataset and the tableadapter are attached to the same report project the data is displayed in the report preview correctly.

its dificult to create a report without preview.

does anybody has an idea or a work around?

any help is appreciated

thanks a lot in andvance,

marino
