[AccessD] VB.NET

Here is a series of articles on MS SQL Reporting Services
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3357011

Well it is free with a full licensed copy of SQL Server, it won't run 
with MSDE
However the kicker is, it is only licensed to one machine so if you run 
your web server and sql server on different machines
you need 2 copies of the server license.  Reporting Services is also 
partly web based.
You may have to run web server and sql server on seperate machines for 
security. I guess MS Security doesn't talk to MS Marketing.
Really cute.
