    Hi all,

    I've been developing using MS Web Developer 2005 (Express Edition) and now need to create reports. I've installed MS SQL 2000 Reporting Services on the applicable SQL 2000 server and am now stuck on how to create reports from MS Web Developer 2005. Do i need MS Web Developer 2005 Pro or alternatively Visual Studio .NET 2003 to create dynamic web based reports? If not could someone throw me some pointers please as im really having problems getting started on this.

    Cheers,

    Ryan

    I don't think this can be done.

    The cheapest way I have found to get developing is to purchase the VB version of Visual Studio 2003, which can be found on ebay for roughly $100.

    I don't know if it's relevant but can't you download SQL Server Express 2005 with Advanced Services that allows you to do Reporting Services (as well as other things) now ?
