Hi all,
My first post here. I have been having a terrible time getting SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services running on my PC with SQL 2005 Express. I have posted this message to other forums and no one has been able to help me. Here is the scenario:
I have a PC with the regular version of Visual Studio 2005 and the regular version of SQL Server 2005. Please note, these are not the Express versions. Everything works perfectly in this environment. To create new Reporting Services projects, I click on Start, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. This all works perfectly.
Now to my problem. I have another PC and I want the same exact scenario if possible, so that I can create SQL Server Reporting Services projects but using the Express versions of SQL Server 2005 and / or Visual Studio 2005. Presently, I have only loaded SQL Server 2005 Express and I can build databases correctly. But I notice that when I click Start, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, there is no option for SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.
So how do I proceed? I assume I need to download and install Visual Studio 2005 Express, right? I looked for links to site where I can download VS 2005 express but can not find any. Everything is VS 2008 only.
I am totally lost here and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Bob

You may be running the wrong version of Express to develop Reports in Express you need SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced toolkit edition.
