sql server reporting services: We have written some RS 2005 reports on a development server which now needs
to have SQL Server 2005 re-installed due to 'Database Services' not
installing successfully with SP1. Some of the 2005 reports are currently in
use and I wanted to install them on a RS 2000 report manager on another
server during the downtime.

I am receiving the error 'report definition not valid' which relates to the
schema definition when I try to import these reports into Visual Studio 2003.
Changing 2005 to 2003 in the schema def does not work. Is it possible to
run a RS 2005 report in RS 2000 Report Manager? The report does not use any

No it is not possible natively. You might be able to hand edit the RDL (in
notepad) to make it work. I have heard that this might be possible.
