    Hello

    I work a lot on SQLServer20005 t-sql.

    However, I need a good resource to get started on Reporting Services ( A book or a friendly web site with lots of graphics)

    Can anyone suggest a good resource for me please ?

    Thanks

    I have been severely unimpressed with any book that I've seen regarding Reporting Services. Once you get into it, you'll quickly get used to the new system. After that, I have found forums like this to be the best resource.

    Although it's written for 2000, the best book by far that I have found is "Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services" by Peter Blackburn and William Vaughn.

    I believe that almost everything in there still works for 2005.

    You can always get the Brian Larson book as a 2005 back-up, but I like the Hitchhiker's Guide better.
