Hi,
I've read some older posts about Report Builder Preview. These posts were about a year ago and suggested that the product name may change.
Can anyone tell me if the name did change (and what it is now) because I'd like to find out if its a 'mature' (ish) product yet.
Thanks,

With SSRS 2000 and 2005 there is Report Builder 1.0 and with SSRS 2008 there is still Report Builder 1.0 in the Report Manager for the time being. They did release Report Builder 2.0 which is part of the SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack that you can download and install as an msi file. The Report Builder 1.0 is a ClickOnce application that is part of Report Manager and there will be a new release of the ClickOnce application at some point to update that to version 2.0. As of right now the infinite drillthough is not part of version 2.0 like it is in 1.0.
With 2.0 you get all of the new data visualizations, Office 2007 ribbon environment design, some wizards for creating reports for charts and matrix, and a few other items.
Report Builder 2.0 RTM install and overview
You might have heard of the new release referred to as Report Designer, but this was earlier on in the CTP releases.
