Reporting Services: alternatives to Visual Studio as a Report Designer?

I am sold on Reporting Services. Our small company data
base is running on SQLserver2000 on Windows2003. We don't
need the full functionality ( and especially cost) of
Visual Studio.net as the Report Designer. What lower-cost
alternatives are there to buying Visual Studio. net?
