Compatibility
As stated in our previous annoncements, Enesys RS Data Extension 2 is not compatible anymore with Microsoft Reporting Services 2000 and will only install on Reporting Services 2005. We have also dropped support for SharePoint 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services V2 though some features may continue to work with those versions.
Enesys RS Data Extension 2 has been developped with SharePoint 2007 (MOSS 2007 & WSS V3) as the target platform.
