copy datasets between reports

i have a lil query that gets the values for my parameters..
what is the easiest way to copy this whole dataset into another report?
I wish that there were 'shared datasets' so that we could reuse business
logici just ended up opening the XML and cutting and pasting..
it didn't work correctly.. said that the 'aaron' datasource wasn't available
(it is a shared datasource, so that confused me)
I just ended up doing it by hand.. it would just be a LOT nicer to be able
to copy datasets without going into the source

The new report controls in the upcoming VS2005 Beta 2 will just bind to
ADO.NET datasets, which would provide a client side solution to "sharing"
datasets. Shared datasets on the server side are on the wishlist for a
future release.

copy a report

I have a report that I would like to make a copy of so that I can use a
different dataset. how can i do this?I find it easier to do items like this outside of VS (or Report Builder).
Simply copy the rdl file in Windows Explorer, then "Add an Existing Item" to
your report project. You can then you can modify your dataset.

Or alternatively... View the code, copy all.. Create a new report... View
the code... Paste..
Done.
