Need rdl help

Can you launch a sql report rdl for a menu form you default page if so I know how to launch a crystal.aspx but do not know how to launch the rdl files do what do I need to to to make this work.

You have to deploy the report to your report server. You can upload the .rdl file through Report Manager but I've always had problems with this concerning the data sources. (I'm new at this too). I usually create the report in VS and then deploy it from there.

After it is on the report server you can access it usually from this urlhttp://localhost/reportserver or you can use the ReportViewer control in your .aspx page if you are using Visual Studio 2.0. Or you can link directly to the report server from your .aspx page.

If you need more help make sure you read the tutorials on Microsoft's site to get you started.

I am inheriting a web site (whose original author is currently unavailable) that runs an winform app behind the scene to send emails or faxes to certain recipients based on what users enter onto the site. The win app calls a SSRS web service to generate the text contents for email/fax. Recently I have received new requirements and need to modify the SSRS text contents but have not been able to find the related rdl files. Could the SRSS reports be deployed,without the rdl files being copied to the server? What can I do now? Thanks.
