Hi @mark goldin ,
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

Hi @mark goldin ,
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.
