Crystal Reports and DataSets

[Shayne]

I've got a report that is pulling data from a dataset. When I update
the dataset's definition, the added columns don't show up in the
Report Designer. If I go to add/remove databases, they don't show up
in the definition, nor do they show up in the Select Expert.

The Crystal Reports support site has this problem listed, and they say
the solution is to close Visual Studio and restart, then open your
project, and the updates to the dataset definition should appear.
They don't.

Anyone else figured this one out?

Try right-clicking on the designer and choosing Verify Database. I'm using
a ttx file rather than a dataset, but that is how I get it to recognize
changes.
