Getting Field List to display in Reporting Services 2005

In VS2005 Report Designer how do you get the field list to display. In VS2003, The field list for the data sets shows on the left side of the screen under the toolbox without having to do anything. In 2005 I don't know how to make it appear at all. Any help, thanks in advance.

Ctrl-Alt+D or from the last item on the View menu, select Datasets.

The last item on my view menu is greyed out "property pages". Is that the item you are referring to? Datasets does not show anyplace.

When I click the Ctrl-Alt+D the system just displays the hourglass and does nothing.

|||Sorry Mary, I was too quick to respond. Your suggestion worked perfectly. I now have my dataset field list. How do I code a function for a report? I need to get info from a dataset and create a concatenated string. I know how to do it but I need to code the function in report designer.
