3rd party tool to create reports

Hi,
Does any one know of a 3rd party tool to create report definitions for SQL
Reporting Services so you don't have to use Visual Studio.NET?
Y/JakobUnless you have objections about how it creates it or how easy it is to
create it, all you need to have is any version of VS, which includes VB. I
believe it is possible to get something with VS that costs only $100. I
doubt you could purchase a report writer for less than that. $100 per
developer is pretty inexpensive.
