You may see this question posted on another usenet group as well..

Can you open a SRS report created in Visual Studio Report Builder or
the tools including with the authoring components? When I open the
file all I see is the xml, which for me, a non programmer doesn't do
much good. I need to make some modifications to it.

Dependind if you have RDL or RDLC file (RDL files are created by the SQL
Server version of Report Designer; RDLC files are created by the Visual
Studio version of Report Designer) you can open it in the appropriate
tool and make modifications. See the following article if you have to
convert from one format to the other:
