Creating a BOM in Solidworks on a different sheet than the drawing views

Help!

I'm trying to create a combined Bill of Materials for several different assembly models on the first sheet of a drawing file and then add drawing views of each assembly on to subsequent sheets so that I can call out each part with a balloon.

I can't seem to get Solidworks to allow me to select a drawing view from a different sheet when I try to create the BOM, though. I'm a missing something obvious?

Edited to add:

Also, is there some way to get rid of the title row of a BOM? I want to stack multiple BOMs on top of one another so they appear as if they're a single list.

Re: Creating a BOM in Solidworks on a different sheet than the drawing views

One trick is to add a view to generate a bom from, then hide the view.
I've never tried to stack tables though. The first bom can have an anchor point to hold it in place, but the others will be floating. This could lead to trouble if any of your boms get updated.
Here's an idea. Create a new assembly containing the assemblies you want. Then the one bom will work just as you want.
