Microsoft CRM Picklist Fields in Reports

Hi,
I have experience with Crystal Report Designer and Microsoft CRM. I am now
writing reports in SQL Reporting Services. In Crystal when you add a
picklist field to a report you are able to pick a field called
CaseTypeCodeName and it automatically associates the IncidentBase table to
the StringMap table so that the values for the picklist field automatically
show up.
I do not see that feature in SQL Reporting Services. What I am wondering is
how did people get around this? Do I need a special SQL query to pull this
information?
Thanks!!Yeah, just create a UDF that pulls the appropriate StringMap value.
