Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

I have a tool which converts 2008 rdl to 2005 so that they can be deployed on Sql 2005 report server. please contact me on :

I have yet to figure it out. The RDL is very different between the two. Personally I run a VM with the SQL 2005 tools on it so that I can edit SQL 2005 RDLs.
