i am using Ms reporting services i have few reports , though the body content is different header is same which consists of name & contact information how do i add that in header & how do i make a common file for this header info which i can call in all reports wherever needed instead of dragging the fields in each report i need some function or a report which i can call on all the reports in the header section
suppose i have a report employee.rdlc with all employee details in the body section now in this employee.rdlc i need the company name & say logo to be displayed in the report header section for one report i can make it inline , but as i have multiple rports i wuld like to make a common something lie usercontrol which can be called suppose i make another report say header.rdlc & drag ll the necessary fields & save it in the same folder as of my other reports how do i call header.rdlc in employee.rdlc header section

You can set up your own templates in SSRS - This link should help you out

yep you can store it anywhere you like it will just change how you add the file to the project.
Using the above way you are adding it as a template, you could just save it where you like and right click on the project > Add Existing Item and navigate to the folder where it is stored and rename once its added to your project

Thats just the default location, as I don't know how your version has been installed I have no way of knowing where it would be located on your machine.
That being said you can use the second option I provided above.
