Hi,
I have an SSRS report which i don't know on which version it was developed. I am trying to open it with Visual Studio 2005 but i get the error "The Report element was not found."
Is it related to versions upgrade?
In that case how can i open the report on VS2005.
If not what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance

it should have a line which suggest the version.
In any case i think this report was developed in rs 2000 which is causing this error
