reporting services

Hi, quick question...
Can I use SQL2000 reporting services with MSDE 8.00.760(SP3)?

I believe that you can run reports against an MSDE database, but Reporting
Services itself uses SQL Server to store metadata and cannot be installed on
MSDE. The system requirements are listed at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporti...fo/sysreqs.asp and do not
include MSDE.
Sincerely,
Stephen Dybing

|||Reporting Services can indeed draw data from any data source including any
version of MSDE. However it must be hosted on a SQL Server 2000 Standard
Edition (or better). We discuss these issues in our new book. See
www.sqlreportingservices.net for more information and two chapters to
download.
