Reporting Services : Where is it?

I've installed Reporting Services. No shortcuts were setup so what do I do to get into it? Should it show up in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or should I be using something else?

I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for. Are you just trying to verify it was installed so you can create a project with it? You should be able to do that by going in to Visual Studio, selecting Help >> About Microsoft VS and it should show up in your list of installed products.

If you're looking to create a new project, simply choose File >> New Project and select Business Intelligence Projects from the project types. Hmm, I might be way off on what you're looking for - I too am quite new to Reporting Services. There is an excellent video on this site I would suggest watching: http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/view.aspx?tabid=63&id=112

To verify that you have reporting services properly configured try accessing report manager from internet explorer by typing the following URL if your using sql express with advanced services.

http://ComputerNameHere/reports$SQLEXPRESS

You may need to replace SQLEXPRESS with your sql instance name.

The url above show launch report manager from where you can browse folders and reports hosted on the report server.
