I think you will find the MS discovery will also not get and fields either. I'm not sure (never read up on it) just what magic they use to get the columns but it cannot work with dynamic sql. This seems perfectly reasonable to me as dynamic sql allows you to change the column names - 1 dead report. Usually dynamic sql indicates a change of underlying object, database, server, table or column structure. Unless it is columns then just dummy up a proc for design purposes.
