Publish reports to SQL 2000 RS using VS2005

We are migrating to SQL Server 2005 (and also RS shipped with SQL 2005) but
in the middle of the process we have still some servers still not upgraded
(and running SQL Server 2000 and RS2000).
Can we deploy reports to RS servers running SQL Server 2000 using Visual
Studio 2005? It seems we cannot becasue we receive the following error
message. Is any workaround to this or do we need to mantain a copy of both
RS2000 and RS2005 rdl files and deploy each group of them using VS2003 and
VS2005 respectively? This is somewhat repeat the same job twice, and might
lead to mistakes and differences between the same file of each version.
The error messages are in spanish but an approximated translation is
provided (It probably does not match the real error message in native
english).
Thanks a lot.

Item)You cannot deploy 2005 reports to RS 2000 server. However, you can deploy RS
2000 reports to a RS 2005 server. One caveat. When I did this I had a few
cases of some minor buggy behavior that went away when I converted to RS
2005. But, you might want to try that out.
