We have several SQL Server 2005 and 2008 databases. Both 2005 and 2008 are the Standard versions. Was wondering if we installed SSRS 2008 could we use it to generate reports from the 2005 databases and if so does it take any special configuration?

Once you have SSRS installed, you can report from any ODBC/OLEDB source system. For example, I have reports where the source data is on Intersystems Cache and I have done reports from Oracle systems in SSRS.
The only thing you need to be able to do is connect to the source system using one of the available connection methods - and there are quite a few of those.
