Adding Web Parts to WSS Project Portal

1. If I try to add a new web part to the Home page (by clicking Modify Shared Page), I get an error ("an unexpected error has occurred) ? Is the Home page non-editable .. ?

2. Seems that the Remaining Work report in the Home page was created using a Page Viewer web part. Clicking on other reports navigates to the Report Viewer Url directly.

Any reason why Report Explorer and Report Viewer web parts (the ones that come with SQL Reporting Services) were not used .. ?

If I want to create links to additional reports, which method is recommended? Should I use Report Explorer/Viewer web parts, Page Viewer web parts or direct Url navigation .. ? Any pros and cons?

Thanks in advance.

There is a SharePoint bug that generates this error when trying to add web parts to a .Net 2.0 site that has been created from a site template. The hotfix is available here:

The only reason that we did not use the Report Viewer part is that it was not available early enough in the program. The Report Viewer part offers resizing support, so it is probably the best choice for customizations.
