Getting a .rdl from a ReportBuilder save

I have created and deployed a report model.
I can go to http://localhost/reports not problem
I can create reports no problem using the Report Builder.
My question is: Is there a way of grabbing some sort of .rdl file or
something of that report so I can publish it to another server? After
I save the report I cannot find it anywhere.
Using the Report builder is way simpler than building reports in a VS
report project.
Is there something I am missing? Can you build .rdls in VS using the
same simple UI that is in Report Builder?
Thanks,
BillBill,
By default the report builder will save the RDLin Reporting Services in the
folder where your model is located. You can navigate to this folder via the
Report Manager Website (http://{server}/Reports), navigate to where your
model is located and your RDL should be there.
OR
You can save the RDL to your local hard drive through the Report Builder
application via the File \ Save To File and specify on your local hard drive
where u'd like to save the RDL.
Hope this helps.

Getting #Error details from deployed report

I have a report that displays #Error for some field values when deployed on the server. Is there any way to get details on the error?

Thanks.

Most likely the #Error comes from making a call into a custom assembly and insufficient security permissions for that custom assembly to be invoked.

You can partially simulate the server environment, if you run the report in the stand-alone preview of report designer. I.e. instead of clicking on the Preview tab, hit F5 which should open a new window for the stand-alone preview. For the #Error you should get warning messages with more details in the output window.
