How to get started?

I am looking to learn about reporting with SQL Server for my company

Currently we have an applicaiton running on SQL Server 2000 and have SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services installed. However, I have VB Express and Web Development Express 2005.

How do I get started here? What versions "work" with what? Do I need to either upgrade the DB to SQL 2005 or find VB.net 2003, or can I use what I have to get started?

jibip,

you will need "Reporting Add-In for Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express" if you want SSRS with your Web Development express. However, you will still need a BIDS environment (VS studio) for SSRS 2000.

In short, you will be a whole lot better just upgrading to SQL 2005 and installing Reporting Service, VB.NET is not a requirement, but hey if you are just starting out I would suggest going to VS 2005 and be done with it.
