FW: SQL Server Reporting Services - Lessons Learned In Development and Deployment

Someone recently pointed me to this excellent article on EggheadCafe.   Much of what it contains is dead-on and amounts to what has taken me a good year and a half to learn through a combination of trial & error, the anorexic Reporting Services books online, and hundreds of posts to the Microsoft public Reporting Services newsgroup.

Definitely worth reading for anyone starting with Sql Server 2000 Reporting Services as well as experts who simply want to save time (and pain) in their daily development life.   If you combine this article with the excellent book Hitchiker's Guide to Sql Server 2000 Reporting Services you should be armed with 99% of the knowledge you will need to be successful creating and deploying Reporting Services reports.
