Clarification of suitability

We ship an application for use in hotels. Some are big and will us
SQL Server 2005, some aren't so big and will use SQL Server Express
For the bigger sites it is fine for the users to select reports fro
the server
But for all sites we would like to present a list of reports an
descriptions from our application for the user to select and ru
(generally printing direct to a printer, but sometimes to a previe
or export). Also, we want the user to be able to add his own report
to this list without us having to write any database access code
etc
Also, some of these reports need to be run directly by our applicatio
(nearly always direct to the printer)
My question is whether all this can be achieved with RS and th
versions of SQL Server outlined above
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I haven't found it s
farLast time I looked, RS was not available with SQL Server Express or SQL
Workgroup, only Enterprise and Standard
