Can SRS 2000 rdl files be published to and run on sql server 2005?

We're planning on upgrading from sql server 2000 to 2005 and we're hoping
that SRS 2000 .rdl files will run on sql server 2005.
Can anyone confirm if this is the case or not.
Thanks in advance for your help.Yes. However, when I upgraded I had some small weird problems. I then opened
up the rdl files with the RS 2005 designer, converted to RS 2005 and
re-deployed and the problems went away. Nothing major and we were able to
function but obnoxious. I can't tell you exactly what would occur, its been
awhile since I upgraded.

>|||Hello Sherman,
I agree with Bruce. There are some changes in the RDL file format between
RS2000 and RS2005, I would suggest you open the SSRS 2000 RDL file in SQL
2005 BI Studio's report designer, it will help convert your RDL to RS 2005
format.
Also, if you still want to use RS2000 reports on SQL Server 2000 later, I
suggest you make an backup for the RS 2000 RDL files.
In addition, you can search for some former threads discussing on RS
2000--> RS 2005 report converting if you meet any particular converting
issues.
