relationships in Project server2k3-> reporting services?

Ok,
We have setup SQL2005 reporting services with MOSS integration. I have
created a datasource that points at our Project server 2003 SQL
database so that we can start to create project server reports. The
data source works just fine BUT its *doesnt* pick up any relationships
between tables from the Project2k3 SQL database.
This means that when you create a report builder report the first
table you selct becomes the primary and no others are visable :( not
very useful for creating meaningful reports.
Questions:
a) How does SQL2005RS read the relationships between table entities in
a remote DB so that they can be used together within the report
builder?
b) Does anyone have recommendations, URLs, How-tos on setting up
reporting services against Project server 2003?
Tips welcome
Al BlakeI have written many reports against the Project Server 2003 database. I have
found there are not relationships in the Project Server database. You always
have to create your own joins of the data.
Most of the time I will create a query using query analyzer, Then use SRS
to group ,filter and sum the data.
Hope this helps

sure I hadnt missed something.
I am quite comfortable in making the queries through SQL QA until I
get the right result but then I am unclear as to how I get this into
the SQL2005RS environment through MOSS.
Are you saying I should define views within the SQL database and then
use report builder to make a report against that?
OR
is there some way to 'parameterise' the Report Model object when you
create it to use a SQL queiry with join as the basis of its model?
As far as I can see when I create a RB model the ONLY option I have is
the datasource I want to use......there doesnt seem to be any way to
create an RBM from a datasourse using
SELECT * FROM A,B WHERE A.ID=B.ID
or am I missing something again?

Registration Benefit Portal - Page Nopt Found

Hi, this text is taken from the FAQ and contains the same link the Registration email I received, which don't work (for me!). The link points to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52054. Does anyone else have this problem?

NOTE: You can directly access the Registration Benefit Portal without need of a first or second benefit e-mail—as long as you have completed the registration process and use the same e-mail to login in to Passport at the benefit porta

Hmm, working now!
