How to find my rdl filesn the sql server?

Hello.
I have a few reports that I've published to my reportserver.
Now, my rdl files have been delete from my local computer.

Is there a way to find the rdl files on the server so I can download them to my local pc so I can continue working on them?

I have full access to the report server of course (and the the sql server itself).
I'm useing rs2005.

Thanks.

Hi there - this isnt documented very well, but you can actually just re-download the report directly from the report server

browse tohttp://reportingserver/reports

replace reportingserver with the name of your server.

click a folder - then a report to view it (like you were going to run it), then click the properties tab at the top.

About half way down the page, there will be an "edit" linkbutton, under the "Report Deffinition" heading, clicking that will give you the option to download the RDL

That's great to know, because the rdl files do not exist on the reports server. They are in the database. I spent hours and hours trying to figure that one out. :(

Hi Freakyuno.

Thanks for the reply. I get that question in a few other forum so I guss thats the way to do it :)

I also found a nice tool to do this (from the msdn ssrs forum):

Still didn't try it out my self but I read about it and it sound like another way.

Thanks.
