SQL Server 2000 and Reporting services

Hello,

Our IT department just installed SQL Server 2000 on a Windows 2003
machine. I am trying to find out how I can get SQL Server Reporting
Services, I think it would help me with some metrics that I have
developed in Access, but I'm hoping to use SQL Server as the backend.
Another forum vaguely told me to "Contact Microsoft". Can anyone tell
me if Reporting Services is a free download or is it another piece of
software I have to purchase?

Thanks,

dhx
