Am I right in using BI Studio to run Reporting Services ?

Hi,

This is a basic question but I'd be grateful for any suggestions because I just can't get started.

I installed Reporting Services from a CD-ROM.

When I go to all Programs, I find an entry for BI Development Studio but when I run it, it describes itself as Visual Studio on the top left.

I can create basic Reports OK, but when I try to create Charts, following Brian Larson's book, I find myself looking for things that sound basic, but I can't find them. An example is Report Designer, whereas I have a Report Wizard.

Then I can find a 'Chart' under Report Items, but I can't find out what to do with it - I tried dragging-and-dropping it, double-clicking it and so on, but nothing worked.

I am sure I am doing something basic wrong but I can't figure out what it is.

I'd appreciate any advice !

Barry

The BI Studio has full support of all RS features. You may need to re-read the steps |||

Thanks for your advice and for responding so quickly.

I was impressed by your web site so I'll take your advice seriously !!! ;)

I was trying to skip the basics using my previous knowledge (which turned out not to be so portable after all) so I guess I'll start again at page 1.
