Retrieve the .rdl file from the reporting services server

Is it possible to retrieve the ".rdl" file published on the Reporting Services
server...
I made a stupid mistake and renamed a report from let say a.rdl to b.rdl
and started to revise the report. Then later on I needed to do some changes
to the published report a.rdl... Though, this file (a.rdl) doesn't exist on
my computer anymore...
Thanks in advance for any tipsHi Andreas:
I'd write an .RSS script file to pull the rdl with the web service.
Look in the books online at the GetReportDefinition method, it even
includes a sample to save the file to disk.

click on the report, the properties tab, the edit link. You will be asked
where you want to save the rdl. Once you have saved the rdl then just add it
back to your project.

always the first solution that springs to mind. Thanks for pointing
that one out, Bruce.
