Open an existing report

Hi
Is it possible to connect to an existing project of reports?
cause i have made some reports on my workstation, deployed them on the
server and now some of the others from the office wants to connect to the
reports and tweak them a bit.
How do we do that?
/ChristianUse source control or a file share to share the reports projects (or reports
themselves and any corresponding shared datasources.) Once the reports are
modified, you'll need to publish them again.

Hello Christian,
I'm using visual studio .net. There is the button "new element"
klicking an holding down the button gives you two choices: "add new
element" and "add existing element". They should select "add existing
element". Then a window opens up and they should be able to browse to
the destination where you delivered your report and then they should
be able to import the report. (This report displays on the end of
their list in the projectfolder explorer.)
Sorry when some buttons have similar names because i'm using a german
version and i don't know how these buttons or things are called in
english.
Hope i could help.
bye
Jens
