What are the options to do SQL Server reports?
I have done Access frontend SQL Server backend reports in Access.
I have a client with SQL Server. He has Filemaker for some kind of
front end.
What are the options for reporting?
I have SQL Server 2005 Express but I could probably download the 2005
enterprise trial.
I have management studio installed.
I can do the reports in Filemaker but I wonder what my options are in
SQL Server?
thanks,

Reporting Services is a server based reporting solution. You create reports
using the report designer (it either integrates with VS if you have it or
installs a copy of Visual Studio that is just for developing reports). You
install the BI tools using the install disks for SQL Server. After
developing and testing the reports in the development environment you deploy
the reports to the server.

I suggest getting a how to book to get a handle on reporting. Because it is
server based there are more hoops to jump through than creating reports in
Access.
