Many Thanks for your reply.

Just to check , i need to be in 'SQL server Man Studio' ?

I select OBJECT EXPLORER then CONNECT?

From there, I select 'REPORTING SERVICES' and then choose our prefered server?

This opens up the R_server within OBJECT EXPLORER with nodes of 'Jobs', Security' & 'Shared Scheds'.

Upon the right clicking of these nodes, i get various options but nothing that resembles what i see in 'DATABASE ENGINE'. (This is the area I am confident with, the rest of this is new to me, SORRY!!).

How do i run your suggested query against the RS database.

I need to check i have permissions to run said report, how would i find out ??

Again, thanks for being pacient with me, I'm self taught and every day is a new lesson (not to mention a headache) :-):-):-)

Thanks again for any advice
