The SQL Server samples are not installed automatically during setup. For instructions about how to install the samples, see Installing Samples.

Currently the sample databases are installed. But what about the related BI projects i n VS2005? How can I check for and open those BI projects in VS2005?

This link walks you through the setup of the permissions.
About 2/3rds of the way

To open the report model sampleTo open the report model sample

   1.

      Point to Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click Business Intelligence Development Studio.
   2.

      On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Project/Solution.
   3.

      In the Open Project dialog box, navigate to the location where you installed the SQL Server 2005 samples. By default, the samples are installed in the following location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples.
   4.

      Double-click Reporting Services.
   5.

      Double-click Model Samples.
   6.

      Double-click Adventure Works Model.
   7.

      Select Adventure Works Model.sln and then click Open.
   8.

      In Solution Explorer, double-click Adventure Works.smdl.

      The Adventure Works report model sample opens in Model Designer. Next, you will create a new expression that replaces the database login information with the login information you set up earlier in this lesson.


This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
