    Folks,

    Does anyone know anything about this?

    I have seen samples of what it can do - and it looks very impressive. Exactly what i need.

    I only have a SQL Server 2005 Express - the free version. I presume i need the full version - thats ok?

    Also, do i need Reporting Services as a seperate download - or is this part of the SQL Server package?

    Is it difficult to get up and running?

    I've used it a fair bit. Normally it's using the full version and it's included with the main installer, it's an option you can tick on or off during the install. You can also install it seperately after, kind of like add/remove features more than installing something seperate, and you have to do some configuration on it manually that way, usually better to just install it with your database server instance.

    There is actually a free version too, although I've used it it looks pretty full featured.

    the configuration isnt too bad, once you get down to it. Main issue most people have is not enabling the certificate for the machine and forgetting that they need IIS
