sql server reporting services: The new reporting services has a new feature that will allow you to select
multiple parameters and or all in a list. Do they plan to add this into the
original version as its a must have feature in a business Intelligence
software. We need to all demand that microsoft fix this feature in the
original edition. Or allow the licesing of reporting services 2005 be used on
2000 sql servers.
This is just an improvement in my opinion its a fix for a piece of much
needed code.

Anyone know where we can email our request too post in this discussion.

Thank

Reporting Services 2005 can indeed use a SQL Server 2000 relational engine
to store its metadata/objects (i.e. ReportServer / ReportServerTempDB). You
will need a SQL 2000 license for the database and you will need a SQL 2005
license for RS - other than that it will just work.
BTW: if you only use some new features in PowerPoint 2003 and no other
components, you will still need a license for Office 2003.

I think sqlwish@microsoft.com is one place you could write to.

Robert,

I read the question as wanting the mult-select functionality in RS2000
without purchasing an additional licence.

I think the "upset" related to the need to purchase an RS2005 licence.

But I could be wrong. :)

Thats correct.
Why should we need to upgrade for this single feature if that is all we
want. They should have had this feature in rs2000. Almost half of my reports
use some form of parameters and 99% of those cant be used in the RS2000
directory of reports. I had to write a web page to bypass the parameters.
