Newbie question. I have a FORM created from dataset_A in VS 2008 (using VB). I would like to tie that FORM to an identical dataset (dataset_B) created from a different database. What is the correct way to do this?

Thanks
 
If you make a copy of one dataset to a second dataset; it is identical but different dataset. I must be missing the point of your request altogether then.
 
Here is the original process I went through:
1. I added a windows form.
2. From a dataset that I created from a local database I dragged components onto the form from the dataset. So now it has the table adapters binding sources, etc associted with this dataset.
3. It works fine this way. I can go from record to record.
4. Now I have created a dataset from a database from an sql server. The tables in this new dataset are identical to the local dataset.
5. I would like the form from step 1 obove to get it's data from the new dataset.

The big question:
Is there a way to have the form point to the new dataset RATHER than the old dataset?
Thanks
