Crystal Reports to SQL Reporting Services Migration

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best approach to migrating
Crystal Reports to SQL Reporting Services?There isn't a "quick" convert option - Crystal being a proprietary report
format limits you from stripping out information about the report. You could
use the "report defintion" option to find out details about the report,
etc...but this is purely for informational purposes
The reality is you will have to re-build your reports. The only reusable
components would be the SQL statement, if optimized, or other source info
(stored proc's, etc...). The rest would be fresh.

Thanks for the reply. We've already moved forward doing it manually and
have actually completed the migration. Once we developed kind of a process
or pattern for doing the conversion, it wasn't too bad.
