Kevin can help you with any Crystal questions you might have. I haven't used Crystal since the mid-'90's.

Good luck and don't give up!!! =)

>>Quick answer is that it really depends on what you're doing.

>>I'd say maybe for a little quick-and-dirty app where you have one or two very simple datasets, then what the heck, do it like you're doing it. But for anything more complicated, Typed DataSets are better, IMHO. Now, there are those that will disagree with me, particularly when it comes to Web stuff, and you're welcome to listen to what the naysayers have to say and form your own opinion. But I think that once you've started using Typed DataSets, you won't want to go back.

>>Where to put them? Well, we have many DataSet projects (DLLs) in our Solution. In our case, each DataSet project contains many DataSets associated with a particular module in our app. For a smaller app, you could maybe just have one DataSet project.
