Charlotte - I think I've got it figured - the reports that were Modal/Popup/Dialog in 2002 were created from a modal/popup/dialog *form* (copy, change to report, etc) in 2000. These attributes are dormant in 2000 reports, only to erupt in 2002. As you suggested, I fixed them in 2002, then saved back to 2000 format, and all works well in both versions of Access. Thanks ...

As long as I'm careful. And - just as a matter of interest - can you shed light on why would some reports in 2000 be one way (Yes/Yes/Dialog) and some the other, without any intention from me? M$ consistency - my oxymoron for the week.
