Hello, Can anyone tell me what I need to do to see the report designer in VS 2005? I have it working VS 2003, but can't get to grips with VS 2005 Should I see a Business Intelligence option when I create a new project or do I need to install some other s/w on my client pc, or is there a report designer feature within VS 2005 that just needs to be switched on? Thanks, Nigel
Are you trying to see RS 2005? RS 2000 will not show up in VS 2005. For RS 2005 you need to run the client tools from the SQL Server install media. Once installed you should see Business Intelligence Projects as one of the project types. RS 2000 is a 1.1 framework app. RS 2005 is a 2.0 framework. Which is why you can only use the appropriate VS. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services "Nigel" wrote in message news:b2edd572-814d-4aa0-93eb-b77c592a15c5@i76g2000hsf.googlegroups.com... > Hello, > > Can anyone tell me what I need to do to see the report designer in VS > 2005?

Bruce, Thanks. I am using RS2000 at the moment, but I get reports written in 2005 and wanted to view them as they are before attempting to strip out the 2005 specifics for RS2000, plus a colleague needs to start creating reports but only has VS 2005. I thought that VS had the designer built in but I will get hold of the sql 2005 client install. Nigel
