Browser Based Report Builder

Hi,
I am looking at building a simple browser based report builder. I would like
to provide options to move fields and add text\captions to exsisting reports
using a browser(IE)
To startwith I am looking at displaying the fields(those are present in
report) in a grid(where the user could change the order of them) and have a
report preview pane(where the user could preview the report.
Could someone please let me know how I could have a preview pane in web page
and how I could make changes to the report as soon as a user changes the
fields order in grid.
Any help\suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Report Model / Report Builder which i browser based.

I am planning to do in SSRS 2005.
I could use ReportViewer for previewing reports but I need to change the
order of columns in the reoprt once the user changes the order in the grid.
Any ideas how I could programatically change the report from vb.net to
change the order of columns?
Thanks
