With enough major editing of the SQL 2008 report you can convert it to a SQL 2005 report.

In a future post (you can read this as, as soon as I figure out just what editing needs to be done) I’ll cover what editing needs to be done to the SQL 2008 RDL to make it run within a SQL 2005 Report server.

This is going to come in handy as you can’t have SQL 2005′s UI and SQL 2008′s UI installed on the same machine.
