I had the same problem that Dana notes below when I added a second dataset
to an existing report that was working. My report had three lists in it
(there were no tables or matrices). After adding the second dataset, I got
the error shown above in the subject line. I found that two of the lists
had DataSetName as blank. When I set a DataSetName for each of the lists,
the problem was solved.

The error message from Report Designer could be improved. The message should
give the name of the data region (or list) with the problem, rather than
saying "data region 'DataSetName'". I'm planning to create a simple way to
duplicate the problem. What's the proper way to get it to Microsoft as a
bug?
