Fixing the Problem

I followed the suggestions of some in this thread but the easiest, and subsequently the one that worked for me, turned out to be simply installing Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. In my case the registry didn't have the rptproj extention listed so the narrative 'make sure the application for the project type (.rptproj) is installed' made sense to me. After installation class was listed in the registry and Visual Studio 2003 could now see, both files were shown whenever I went to the solution directory, and open the report files. I hope this helps some but it seems there are differing problems tracking the same error message.

Hello Steve_King:

Could you please gives the link about the thread which has the suggestions?

Are SQL Server 2000 and VS 2003 used by Team Foundation Server?

Thank you very much.
