I have to modify SQL Server reports. It is not easy to modify directly XML report file (*.rdl). Is there any IDE for editing SQL Server Reports?

MS Visual Studio with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers.

The official recommendation is to install the Business Intelligence Development Studio, which is part of the SQL Server product - this will install into your existing Visual Studio, if you have one, or it will install a Visual Studio shell for your use.

As far as I remember, there's a least one other report designer out there that allows you to visually design your RDL/RDLC files - but I can't seem to find my references to that one anymore.. I'll keep looking.
