Question on Report Builder/Designer

I have Visual Studio 2005 Team Developer. I don't need SQL2005 since I have SQL2000. How do I get Report Designer/Builder for VS2005? I would like to use the Report Designer/Builder to build reports for Windows applications. Do I HAVE to buy SQL 2005?

Thanks.

Reporting services is an add-on for SQL 2000, but it is available. You can download a 120-day evaluation version here:

I don't want SQL2000 I already have SQL2000. What I want to find is the Report Builder/Designer to use with VB programs within Windows. It is suppose to plug into Visual Studio 2005 which I have but I don't want to spend the money for SQL2005 just to get the plug in. I don't need Report Server just the Report Designer/Builder.

It is also an snap-in to Visual Studio. Everything I have read is that you use it to develop reports for Windows Apps, which is what I want to do. I don't use SQL as a database generally. I normally use Access because they are small apps. But I would like to use the Report Builder/Designer to develop these app reports. That is where I'm trying to get to.

If I can get Report Builder/Designer into Visual Studio2005 then I can write reports for Windows Apps which they say you can do and is a replacement for Crystal. Also that you don't need SQL or SSRS to do this.

I just don't know where to get the snap/plug-in.
