You can create the sample report structure as you want with header,footer
logo etc and then copy the .rdl file to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Report
Designer\ProjectItems\ReportProject

Each time u create a new report u can... select Add new Item...your report
sample will appear there. Select that. Later u can make changes (Title etc)
for each specific report as u want.

While this is a step in the right direction, the problem is that you
can't "cascade" any changes to your template across all the reports
created from that template. A CSS like approach would have been better
I think, although i'm sure that would have added significantly to the
complexity of the designer.

I wonder if there there a way to decorate the contents of the RDL (in
the template) such that some custom bit of XML code could be used to
process all the RDL files, identifiing the customized Header/footer and
modifing it to a new look and feel?
