SQL 2005 reporting services

[daztrouk]

Is this free? I've done a search, but can't find much on obtaining it. Any help appreciated.

I currently have my hands on sql server 2005 express

"SSRS is a competitor of Crystal Reports and other Business intelligence tools, and is included in Express, Workgroup, Standard, and Enterprise editions of Microsoft SQL Server as an install option. Reporting Services was first released in 2004 as an add-on to SQL Server 2000. The current version was released as a part of SQL Server 2005 in November 2005."

I always thought Reporting Services wasn't available in the express edition.

Good start here: -

You'll need visual studio to develop the reports, pretty sure you can't do it in VWD but I may be wrong..
