Future of Report builder

Hi,
I am looking into letting users build their own reports. So far, it
looks good for most scenarios. However, some of the 'reports' I'd
like users to create are forms for our quotes, orders and invoices.
I can create these kinds of reports in VS 2005, but I can't in report
builder because of its lack of the List control. I use the list
control to display fields from the Document header data source, which
will only ever have one item in the list such as sold to information,
the document number, etc.
Will report builder gain the ability to use the List control so that i
can place item details arbitrary on the form? I'd like to see this
feature added, as it would allow my users to create any kind of
reports / forms they need so long as I provide them an appropriate
model.
For now, are there any workarounds?
Thanks
AndyBasically RB is for top management, who can create report on their own, for
forms you can try using "Infopath" for forms creation. Since it is a very
very earlier version, we expect MS will improve on it.
