SQL Server 2005 Reports

[Mutilated1]

I bought this book Professional SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to help me work out some reports that I need to write. So far its helping me out pretty good by following the examples and stuff.

The thing is I have Visual Studio 2005 on my machine, but I installed it after I installed SQL Server 2005. And the SQL Server that I am working with to create my reports is actually a remote machine, so I have to get on a VPN and use Remote Admin to get to it, and use the Visual Studio 2005 on the remote machine to create the reports.

What I would like to do, is just get the Business Intelligence Data Services pieces of Visual Studio 2005 installed on my local machine so that I can just connect to the VPN and work that way instead of trying to Remotely Access the desktop on the other machine.

Can any of you tell me what I have to do to get the Business Intelligence Data Services components installed into my local Visual Studio 2005 ? They are already installed on the remote machine, but somehow they did not get installed on my local machine, and I can't seem to find the components on either the Visual Studio or the SQL Server installation(s).

Any ideas where I should look ?

Hi,

If you install the developers edition of SQL2005 onto you local machine (that you get with VS2005) this will install the Reporting services.

Hope this helps.
