Newbie question about Office version on client machine

Does it matter what version of Office is installed on the clients
machine for opening reports generated by reporting Services?
The reason I am asking is because our users are getting an office
upgrade from 2000 to XP on their machines.No, it does not matter.

thank you.

newbie question

You want me to send my resume' where? What your asking for is not a
small task and is probably out of scope for one posting. Try breaking
your project above down in to individual tasks, do your homework
first, and then post if you can't find the answer.
If you are the one that's going to be doing this...I would start with
Linked Servers and go from there. Also, in my opinion, wipe Views
complete from your chain of thought. Think Stored Procedures!
You have one nice project in front of you! Good Luck!
