Created new .rdl report files. Uploaded to report server, data source defines, but receive error message below with attempt to generate reports.

"Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSourceName'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)"

Have you verified that the data source is correct? If so, do a connection test on the Report Server using ODBC (setup a new ODBC data source with the same config and do a test). If it fails there too, you've either got a firewall issue or you'll need to add a SQL alias for the SQL listening port.
