| Hi,I'm new to MS SQL Reporting Services. Am I correct in understanding that the traditional way to design new reports is via the Visual Studio .net Report Designer?I would like to have a client design simple reports via a web-based GUI. Can this be done using the "stand-alone" MSSQL Reporting Services software offered by Microsoft? If not, can anyone point me in the direction of a third-party software product that can let a user design forms via a web-based GUI and integrate them with MSSQL Reporting Services?Thanks in advance,Uri Goldstein,Israel. |

| I repeat my question - Is there any way for me to create the reports in a web-based GUI?Visual Studio .net 2003 clearly does not qulaify as a web-based GUI for such purposes. |

| There are some 3rd party tools that can do this, but they aren't very cheap. I went to a demo of RS a while back that MS put on and there was a 3rd party vendor that had this functionality. I don't recall the name though. Perhaps googling it would bring up some hits for you.Also, RS files are just rdl files. You can create your own report via notepad or whatever. It certainly wouldn't be easy though.Tara |

I repeat my answer, use visual studio.net. Some of the tools that are out there (3rd party) do not have a lot of the current functionalities of rs. Why do you need such a "web based tool" anyhow? Whats wrong with creating a report in a client tool. I see no reason why you want a web based gui for such a thing.

| Thanks for the info tduggan and jhermiz.If I find any third party products worth mentioning I'll list them here.The reason I need a web-based GUI is that I would like to enable clients to create reports without having to install Visual Studio .net. Having my clients install VS .net as standalone report designer tool is an overkill. Too expensive, too complex. |

Maybe because RS has not implemented listboxes yet. I have a report that requires list boxes to be passed as part of the parameter for the report which urged me to post this [url]http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=46153[/url].Australia.NSW.Sydney.GunZ |
