You can get the developer edition of 2005 for about £50
and it is almost identicle to the full enterprise ediition and includes SSAS, SSRS, SSIS

Beta versions of 2008 are available to download for free from MS

If you're doing a lot of SQL Server work then I can't recommend getting your own copy enough for experimenting with

Thanks

are you spell checking to help your post count recover?

Ahh, thanks for the info. i have thought about getting one at home to experiment with but always thought it would be too expensive to bother. Do I need to set up anything special, hardware wise, to use it?

I agree, Sir Edward, it's not the best place to be pivoting etc. and it should be done in cubes etc etc. In the past I have also used Access via passthru queries to do this sort of analysis and reports generation

You will need XP pro or a windows server 2000 or higher installation.
I've got XP Pro and it works fine, even have a report server publishing reports.

I agree with that too, but sometimes it is unavoidable or simply, due to the system, it is the logical place and knowing what tools are available to you is invaluble
