MDX support in next version of Rept. Svcs. (MS Question)

Hi. We are doing quite a bit of work with Analysis Server and Report
Services. I understand the next version of Rept Svcs will support Analysis
Server and MDX queries quite a bit better.
So before we put a lot of effort in building better support for creating MDX
based reports, I would like to understand what that support will be and an
estimate when it will be avail. for beta testing.
Thanks,
BillBill,
I hope you don't mind that I am not from Microsoft. One of the Analysis
Services-related enhancements that you will see is the MDX Query Builder
which is included in Beta 2 and you can try out now. Another feature will be
ad-hoc reporting off Analysis Services (not publicly available yet).

Hope this helps.

Can you define "ad-hoc reporting off Analysis Services" in this context ?
Also: will we get something better than flattened recordsets (ADO MD
cellsets!) ?
Thanks,
Tom
