Question : Visual Studio dataset designer error message

I'm getting a strange error in Visual Studio 2005.  When I open my project I get the following message:

An exception occurred while trying to update the data smart tasks, thy will be disabled.
Unable to find connection 'ProgramTrackingConnectionString (Settings)1' for object 'Settings'.  The connection string could not be found in application settings, or the data provider associated with the connection string could not be loaded.

Although I cannot open the project's dataset in the designer, the application runs fine in both debug and release.  I did a search on 'ProgramTrackingConnectionString (Settings)1' on the entire project and found nothing, but did find 'ProgramTrackingConnectionString (Settings)' --- without the '1'.

In the project properties, I have an Application setting named 'ProgramTrackingConnectionString'.

Does anyone know how I can fix this, so that I can work with this project's dataset in the designer once again?

Thanks!
