Reports - IE7?

Are there some major issues with the reports and IE7?
One of our systems which is attempting to access the reports via LAN is
having the following problems. The system is running IE7 Beta 3 on
WinXPPro SP2.
1) When opening report builder the progress window appears showing the
download of the application but the report builder never displays. No
errors, nothing!
2) When clicking on a report the report shows correctly but IE7 seems to be
doing something still, the icon on the tab keep flickering and most
navigation has a minute or two delay. There is also an '!' in the icon on
the status bar but where you can normally click on the icon to view it never
displays.
3) The date select buttons and drop down list from the parameters and export
selection don't work at all.
Regards,
JohnFrom other postings I gather beta2 worked OK and beta3 does not. I discussed
with internal MS person and he told me they have a commitment from the IE
team to fix the problem. There is no workaround. So, MS RS team is aware of
the issue and so is the IE 7 team.

I was using IE 7 Beta 2 with reporting services fine. I then installed Beta
3 and was having the problem you described in your first postingand reported
it via this newsgroup. Can't recall if it was Bruce or not but a Microsoft
MVP contacted Microsoft, confirmed this was known and replied to me that
this would be fixed using essentially the identical words you quoted here.
Late last week I downloaded and installed IE 7 RC1 and was thrilled that the
problem is no longer happening.
If this is happening for you on RC1, there is something else involved.
Jon|||Thanks Jon,
Ok I will look into other issues.
Regards,
John

Just installed RC1 and the document map - doesn't display the content
anymore :-(|||The issue with Beta 3 was worse than that. Reports just flat out didn't
work. I'll pass this on.
