Problem displaying report services in client browsers

Hi all

I'm working on a project where we've developed a number of reports using SQL Reporting Services. Everything works fine on the developer PCs and when they cannect to the reporting services URL they can see all the reports listed and everything works fine. When the testers connect, they can see the basic reporting services homepage with the contents and properties tabs. But when they click on the contents tab nothing is displayed.

The tester pcs are locked down and the user profiles wouldnt have the same access rights as the developers who are all local admins on their PCs.

My question is what would prevent the reports from being listed? Is there an activex control that is possibly being blocked by the local security policy for the tester profiles? If this is the case is there anything that can be pre installed on the client pcs to get around this problem?

Any thoughts or assistance that anyone could provide would be grately approeciated

Thanks

Mark
Make sure that these users have the proper roles assigned for the report server. There is Browser, Content Manager (that can pretty much do everything), Report Builder, My Reports and Publisher. There is also a way to define custom roles if needed. The Report server manager can set up users, groups and role assignments.
