Hi @markgoldin-3750 ,
By default Report Builder cannot open .rdlc files, it supports .rdl files. You could simply convert .rdlc files to .rdl manually:

A report with extension ".rdl" is a server report, and the a report with extension ".rdlc" is a local report. A server report need to be published to a Report Server, and the local report is used for the ReportViewer control that is running in local mode.

For more information,please refer to: Converting RDLC Files to RDL Files.

Joy

It can be modified in visual studio.
Follow below to install the Microsoft RDLC Report Designer

  • Go to Tools menu (If using VS 2019 Extensions menu will be available on top)

  • Select Extensions——Manage Extensions.

  • Choose Online option

  • Search: rdlc report

  • Select Microsoft RDLC Report Designer and click download

  • when download completed. You should close the visual studio to let installation happen. Now, you can re-open Visual Studio again, and double-click your reports to open in designer.
