Compatibility vs2005/sql2005 and sql2000

Hi,
Are there any known compatibility issues with VS/SQL 2005 and SQL Server 2000?
In other words, can I (continue to) develop a report project for SQL server
2000 when I have VS/SQL2005 installed on my pc?
--
Thanks,
EdgarI have both VS 2003 and VS 2005. I have modified and deployed reports from
VS 2003 to RS 2000.
What you cannot do is create or modify a report in VS 2005 and deploy to RS
2000. RS 2005 reports require RS 2005.
But, you can upgrade RS 2000 to RS 2005 leaving SQL Server at 2000 (still
need a SQL Server 1005 license).

this purpose. RS 2000 RDLs can be directly published from the old report
designer to RS 2005 report servers. Note: the RS 2000 report designer will
not support any of the new RS 2005 features (such as Interactive Sort,
etc.).

- Can I use VS 2005 with RS2000 to deploy reports to SQL 2000 Report Server?
- Can I use VS 2005 with RS2005 to deploy reports to SQL 2000 Report Server?
