The webcast on Report Builder mentioned that you can run reports that were
created in Report Designer in Report Builder. Is it possible?There are two questions in your post.
1. Does Report Builder support Analysis Services Databases?Yes, with
Analysis Services 2005. You can automatically generate the model from an
SSAS 2005 cube in the Management Studio.
2. Is it possible to open reports that were created in the Report Designer
in the Report Builder? Sort of. Some Report Designer features are not
supported in the Report Builder since the Report Designer is more advanced.
I am not aware about a document that lists all of these features. The
reverse should be OK -- you shoudl be able to open Report Builder reports in
the Report Designer.

Thanks for the info.
I am not able to open a Report Builder report iN Report Designer. When I go
to the preview screen of the report (.rdl), it throws an error that it cannot
find the Model. I guess we need to change the rdl definition to open it
properly. Do you have any idea how to correct the information and open Report
Builder report in Report Designer.

2. Open it in your RS project.You shoudl be able to see its layout but not
to preview it.
3. Add a data source based on the Report Server Model. extension with a
connection string, such as
server=http://localhost/reportserver;datasource=/<Folder>/<your model name>
4. Link the report dataset to that data source.
Now you should be able to preview the report.

>>|||You need to create a data source that uses the Report Server Model extension
with a connection string sth like:
server=http://localhost/reportserver;datasource=/<Folder where model is
located>/<model name>
Next, you need to bind the report dataset to that data source.

right-click on a data source that points to SSAS 2005 and select Generate
Model.
