Can't use VS 2003 for reports now that VS 2005 and SQL 2005 are installed?

I've been using Visual Studio 2003 successfully for several months to
develop a web-based reporting solution. I've also had SQL Server 2000
installed, including the evaluation version of Reporting Services. I
just recently installed Visual Studio 2005 (but left Visual Studio 2003
installed as well) and updated to SQL Server 2005, including the new
version of Reporting Services. I made a copy of one of the report
projects from my VS 2003 solution and I can successfully open it in VS
2005 and convert the reports to the new RS 2005 format. However, when
I try to open my original solution (not the converted copy) in VS 2003,
the non-report projects open fine, but I get the follow message as it
tries to open each of the report projects: "The application for
C:\MyReportProject.rptproj is not installed. Make sure the application
for the project type (.rptproj) is installed." After that, the word
"unavailable" appears next to each of the report projects in Solution
Explorer, but the non-report projects are fine.
Any ideas?I am having the same issue.

I did this morning.. and it has worked by installing the client designer of
SQL 2000 reporting back onto my machine.
Thanks for the reply. Just hadn't had chance to post my solution back.
