Missing Reports in VS.NET

    I can not locate reports that I have previously deployed into Reporting Services from VS.NET.

    When I am in VS.NET the report is nowhere to be found, but the subscriber in Reporting Services is still receiving the report via email.

    Problem: I need to: modify the report, redeploy - but it is not in VS.NET???

    what am I or what am I not doing...

    Thanks in advanced.

    1) VS cannot see what is loaded into Reporting Services.

    2) When you created a report you should have made a project, the original definition should be in that project. If you deleted or it moved beyond the history do File > Open Solution and search under My Documents \ Visual Studio Projects for the corretc project folder (default location) .

    3) If you still cannot find open Reporting Services Manager (online which I posted in your other post). Open the project the select Properties from the menus on the top left. There is a Report definition section under the general options of Properties that contains the link for edit which will aloow you to download the definition to attach to a new project and work on.

    thanks,

    from reporting Services manager -

    I clicked on Report Definition (it asked if I wanted to save) - I did (to the desktop)

    then I could not open that .rdl file - so I opened in notepad.

    changed what I wanted to... but now how to I redeploy this and to were?

    You can attach the rdl to a new project by opening VS and create a reporting project then do add existing item to work with the RDL from there. Afterwards you can either deploy with VS again or you can use report managers upload feature to upload the changed RDL and overwrite the existing (name has to be the same as the exiting for overwrite to work). I would also redownload and keep a copy of the original in case something goes wrong.
