Yes, Views is the answer :)

Typically I've approached this where the author nodes are content  
profile nodes.

- Create a page view with a path such as users/%1/reports

- Set the view to include a list of report nodes as normal, with an  
argument setting tied to your user reference field. Depending on if  
you do a UID or user name, you may need to write a little bit of PHP  
code to massage the argument into what you want. That's especially  
likely on Drupal 5. There's a lot of documentation online for this as  
it was a common use case of argument PHP code in Drupal 5.

- Either put the view in your menu system as a tab (so it shows up on  
all pages), or just theme in the link into your author node template.

Good luck!
