Opinions on Organizing - Solutions and Projects

How are you organizing your solutions and projects? Are you creating a new
solution for every 'group' of reports? I am starting to wonder if I am
getting too granular and will have problems later on locating the reports.
All my reports have the same shared data source.
Right now, I am creating solutions for general headings - for example:
Productivity - obviously has all the productivity reports
Grants - I had seperated these out by individual grants (each grant has it's
own solution and own projects). Would it be easier to manage if all the
grants were in the same solution with different projects?We are organising our reports by having multiple projects under the one
solution.|||I'm developing custom reports for various customers, based on OLAP cubes and
SQL Server 2000 databases. These usually look similar, but are not
identical. This means I can't have the same data source for all reports.
I usually have one solution for each customer. Then I usually add different
projects under each solution, depending on the complexity of the order. I
usually start out with 2 projects: Dev and Final. Dev contains all reports
with static queries. Final contains the reports with dynamic queries based
on parameters. If the customer also orders some of our standard reports,
they go in 2 new projects, Standard Dev and Standard Final, in the same
solution.

projects using folders, so I am very flexible in the number levels of
projects categories.
