How to edit someone else's report definition?

I need to be able to share report definitions with other people in my group, so we can all edit and makes changes to each report definition if the need arises. When I tried to use a shared folder the other person could not access my report def, so evidently there is security applied. What's the correct method to do this? Please point me at the documentation if it's listed somewhere - even an MSPress book would be fine. This is for both SQLRS2000 and 2005.

thanks

Assuming you are using Visual Studio....Did the other person add your .rdl file to their project?

|||We are using VS2003 - we are using a shared folder and I placed my rptproj file on the share - the objective is to have only one file that we can both edit, e.g. if one of us is away.|||

Try this. You will each have a project in VS. Have the other user add an 'Existing Item' to their project..this is your .rdl file on the share.

Then inside VS they should be able to open the .rdl file.

|||that's better, but the other person gets an error that the Data Sources are not defined, so it looks as though the RDL is not enough. Do I need to share the RDS file as well?|||Yes, share the datasource as well. you will also want to make sure that the project properties are the same so the coworker can deploy new versions of the report.|||

OK - further forward progress, however the data source apparently does not bring over the credentials so I assume we'll have to enter them again manually.

thanks!!
