If a customer of ours installed Reporting Services on their SQL Server 2000 machine how do they design reports, assuming they do not own a copy of Visual Studio .NET 2003? Is there some form of report designer?
It is my understanding that Sql 2005 DOES come with a report designer is VS is not installed.

GrahamIn SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services, there is no Report Designer outside of the one hosted in VS 2003 (VB Standard will do). SQL 2005 comes with a version of the Visual Studio shell to host Report Designer. It also comes with Report Builder, which does not require VS at all.|||Having the components used withing Report Builder would be nice. Or being able to modify Report Builder (given the source) would even be nicer.|||
Is it possible to host the Report Designer in a custom application ? Maby like hosting the Forms Designer in a custom application.

|||Yes, yes, I've seen examples like this. But without spending an inordinate amount of time to research and test, is it possible to host the report designer in the same way? The Winforms designer, yes. But the report designer?
