>>>Right click on the project and click on add, New Item. Then choose the DataSet from the templates. After you create the dataset this way, you can right click on the visual represntation in the designer and pick Add Column. Name the new column to match your data field and set the type in the properties sheet. I do them all this way and you would want to know how to get around in this so you can make the needed changes as they occur in your dataset.

I just found that. Thanks
