I think for me (before I even opened the SSRS) the challenge will be to understand how to "get" the data. My report is nothing more than a bunch of labels (e.g. "Order No.", "Cost Center", "Employee" and so on) and values from a couple of tables. In VFP the values from tables is easy; just do a SQL Select, join whatever tables you need, into a cursor. And use this cursor in the report. Let's see if SSRS is that easy :)

>>On the report writer itself, sure - and truthfully, if someone has used the Access report writer, a similar statement could be made.

>>Where the learning curve comes in is just the general concept of the environment....SSRS projects in BIDS/SSDT, shared data sources and datasets, deployment, how SSRS handles procs, the nuances of the report manager/report server, how to put a report on a custom web page. Not rocket science, but each one has a bit of a curve.
