Credentials blank out-default behaviour?

Hi we have projects that a number of people work on,

When someone opens a project that someone else has been working on all the credentials for the different data sources have disappeared. This seems to be a default behaviour of reporting services, is there a way to change this?

if so how?

Have you tried using shared data sources?|||These are shared datasources

Creating reports?

I have installed VB 2003 but don't see a project option for Business
Intelligence Projects? How do I get this installed as I need to create MS
Operation Manager 2005 reports?BIDS does not exist pre-SS2005. You need to manually create your own
solution/project/report files.

You should install the SSRS 2000 client tool, then it will be in your Visual
Studio under Business Inteligence Project. I did it before using VS2005 and
SQL Server 2005.
