Report Designer tool?

The SQL 2008 product overview word document has a screenshot of "Report Designer"

The screenshot appear to be a new version of the Report Builder tool, but where is this version or this tool?

Thanks.

The new report designer is not available in the first public CTP released earlier this week. It will be in the next public CTP. An early preview and some of the other new features will be shown at TechEd sessions this week.

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.

Report Builder - unable to open report sample

I have deployed the AdventureWorks report model to the report server and published the sample reports (RDLs - Customer Purchases, Product Sales by Year, and Sales by Territory). When I attempt to open the RDL in Report Builder, I unable to open the report and the following error is reported "This report cannot be opened in Report Builder." Any ideas?

Clay BOnly reports that were authored in Report Builder can be opened in Report Builder. All of the sample reports were authored in Report Designer, not Report Builder.
