I just heard about Reporting Services and it sounds like something I
could use, but I can't find it anywhere.  Is it a free download?  If so
where can I download it?  Otherwise, where to I get it?

Thank you,

It comes with SQL Server so you would need to buy that.  Here is a link
about how to buy it.

Interesting.  I have SQL server, but I don't remember seeing it in my
package.  I'm working from home today so I won't be able to check until
Monday.

Thank you for the response,

I just realized that you sent me to a SQL 2005 link.  I already have SQL
2000 and I've read that customers that hold a valid SQL 2000 license are
entitled to Reporting Services.  Microsoft doesn't, however, provide a
download site that I can find.

Thank you again,

It looks like they've thrown out a bunch of SQL 2000 pages in favor of the
SQL 2005 pages. Usually when they do this they move them to a "previous
versions" set of subpages, but I haven't had any luck finding them.

I did find these links:

SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Evaluation Edition
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=BA517C01-2E2F-4BC7-84AF-149B7637F807&displaylang=en

Reporting Services Licensing FAQ (Google cache)
http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:t5yO9jnpn6cJ:www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/howtobuy/faq.mspx

Probably you can still get a CD from Microsoft, if the downloadable
evaluation edition isn't what you need.

Sorry, I have been working with 2K5 for so long I forget many aren't using
it yet.
I see you got some good links from another poster.
