Report Builder only for sql 2005 server?

Hello,

i'm working with SQL Server 2000. And management wants some reports out of the SQL server.

Now there is a product called Report Builder with is a tool to easly create reports. My question is where can i download Report Builder for SQL Server 2000?

Report Builder only comes with Reporting Services 2005. You can use it to access data in SQL 2000 etc but you will need a SQL 2005 licence to use Reporting Services 2005\Report Builder.

Do management want to build their own reports or just view some standard reports? In the latter case Reporting Services 2000 is what you need and this is a free download once you have a SQL 2000 licence.

They want there own reports. They have created some excel sheets to show these information. I have found a plugin for excel to read informatie directly out OLAP CUBE.

But the problem is that you only can view these excelsheet only when you have this plugin installed.

So i'm looking for a way to generate report on the intranet. Like with report services only the problem is to create the report as a duplicate of the excel sheet. That why i wanted to use report builder.
