Ad-Hoc Reporting for users in RS 2005 with Visual Studio 2005

My Supervisor and I attended a couple of Microsoft demos of SQL Reporting
Services 2005, and during those demos, the end user development environonment
was demoed. We are currently using SQL 2000 RS for a full set of Financial
reports for our 800+ users and would like to make available report writing to
our power users.
Are there any links that anybody knows of that explains setting up the
end-user VS2005 environment? Is there a place to start at in the SQL help
file that explains how users should be configured to use Visual Studio and
the Security implications?
Thanks in advance.RS comes with two ways to create reports. Report Builder and Report
Designer. The designer is essentially the same. Report Builder is a whole
new thing and is for power users. It does not use VS. I suggest reading up
on Report Builder. It is a smart client application (one click install).
