Had the need today to backup some report definitions from a SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 Server prior to terminating it. I've linked and put it in pastebin as well.

CRM 2011: Mass Update Opportunity Estimated Closed Date
Today, I fielded a request from a collegue who was attempting to update large number of opportunities with the Bulk Edit feature. They were attempting to update the "Estimated Close Date" field.
I noticed what they had as well -- in the bulk edit form the field was disabled. I presume this is because behind the facade, this is a calculated field.
There's a quick and easy way to overcome this problem if you run into it. A simple dialog (or workflow) can still manipulate this field. The former can even be constucted so it prompts for a value.
I've included a screenshot tour of the dialog I constructed below:
