Karen,
Windows 2000 uses IIS 5.0.
It's a while since I used Windows 2000 but I think you can install IIS
5.0 using Add/Remove Programs.
Or simply put the Windows CD in the drive and select the option that
allows you to install additional components.

MVP - InfoPath|||By default IIS is not running in 2000 Professional. What you need to do is
go to control panel, add remove programs and then on the left pane (I am
remembering this so exactly how you get to it might be off a little) is
something you select to add remove Windows components. That is where you
install IIS. You will be prompted for your Windows install disk (I believe,
it has been awhile). You will also need to install dotnet 1.1 after you get
IIS installed.

Thanks for the quick feedback.
Will reporting services work on SQL Developer edition and Windows 2000
Professional if I install IIS 5.
Also, can you please recommend some 3rd party authoring tools that
enable quick authoring of reporting services reports and deploying
them if thru Excel it will be very good.
Thanks
Karen

Definitely worth reading:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/deploy/rsdepgd.mspx
As far as the database
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/productinfo/sysreqs.asp
Note that it says to use the version of database to match the version of RS.
To me that means if you have developer edition of SQL Server that you should
use the same or Reporting Services (i.e. this is good for test and
development only).
MS has a partner page:
