How many typed datasets should I have?

[Artificer]

I am creating an application that will have around 20 web forms. Should
I create only one strongly typed dataset that includes all the
DataTables required for all the forms or should I create one strongly
typed dataset per web form that includes only the DataTables required
by that specific form?

 

[sloan]

I usually create 1 DataSet per "business problem" or "display needed".

Sometimes you can reuse a few, but usually you write in a 1 per scenario.
