Again, sorry to sound stupid (the class was only 2 days, over a year ago), but how will I write the reports if SSRS is not installed on my workstation? The XX's in the DB name were actual letters unique to our company, not real X's. Anyway, I removed the DB's and still have the same errors. I will begin reading the information you provided. Thank you again.
Reports are usually hosted on the server (on which SSRS is installed). You will typically use Visual Studio or BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) to develop your reports, including the data sources which the report will use to connect to a database for the relevant data etc.
After your development is complete you will typically deploy the reports to the server, at which time it will be accessible to everyone who has the relevant permissions to view/execute these reports.
The content databases are used to store the source (XML definition) of the reports once they are deployed, so everything is hosted on the Report Server.
My suggestion would be that you go through all the documentation and workshops on MSDN (Books Online) to refresh your memory. It's easy to forget if the class was that long ago and you've never used the technology since.
