Newbie Question

I've just started messing around with SQL2K5 and Reporting Service. I loaded SQL Server Reporting Pack for IIS. I can't seam to find any detailed details on the pack. Is there an easy way to repoint the 12 reports from the template db to my live IIS ODBC db? Or is it better to just start from scratch and build the reports?

Thanx

I'm not quite sure what you mean here? Are you saying you have 12 reports pointing to your old DB and now you want to point them to your new db? If so just change the datasource of the reports to your new db.

Make sure however the new db has the same table/column names as the datasets already in the reports otherwise the reports will break.

newbe to SQL2005 & MSDE

HELP!!
having on trouble installing, just gettting everything connected.
(xp sp2)
First i loaded MSDE, then realized i needed the web admin tool to create the db...but can't get the web admin tool to connnect to anything..
so I took a stab at SQL 2005 Std ed beta....loaded fine, but then realized i need another admin tool to create db so I loaded the xpress manager...again, loads fine, but doesnt'connec to any DB..
why is this so difficult for me....SQL Svr v6 was so much easier with enterprise manager!!!
HELP!!
DonDon, what do you mean by "the web admin tool"? The utility that comes with Visual Studio .NET 2005?
Can you explain what you mean by "but doesn't connect to any DB."? Are you receiving any error messages?
