Assuming you have SQL Server 2005, you should have been able to
install it as part of the options. Once it is installed: to begin
using it, you will need to open the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 via
Start->Programs and create a new Report Server project (via File->New-
>Project). If you are wanting to install SQL Server 2005 Express
Advanced, then you will want to download and install MS SQL Server
2005 Express Edition w/Advanced Services & MS SQL Server 2005 Express
Edition Toolkit ()|||Thank,
I had the Server part installed. I was looking for the Visual Studio hint.

Getting Field List to display in Reporting Services 2005

In VS2005 Report Designer how do you get the field list to display. In VS2003, The field list for the data sets shows on the left side of the screen under the toolbox without having to do anything. In 2005 I don't know how to make it appear at all. Any help, thanks in advance.

Ctrl-Alt+D or from the last item on the View menu, select Datasets.

The last item on my view menu is greyed out "property pages". Is that the item you are referring to? Datasets does not show anyplace.

When I click the Ctrl-Alt+D the system just displays the hourglass and does nothing.

|||Sorry Mary, I was too quick to respond. Your suggestion worked perfectly. I now have my dataset field list. How do I code a function for a report? I need to get info from a dataset and create a concatenated string. I know how to do it but I need to code the function in report designer.
