[AccessD] Report properties - A2000 vs A2002

Those properties are not exposed in 2000, so you can't change them
there.  You need to change it in 2002 to No/No/Sizable or they'll keep
breaking in 2000.  If you create reports from 2002 you need to avoid the
methods and properties that don't exist in 2000.  Another one is the
OpenArgs property of 2002 reports.

Subject: [AccessD] Report properties - A2000 vs A2002


I take a (long-time working) app from a Win2000 / A2000 environment to a
WinXP / A2002 environment.  The app is not converted to A2002, it stays
in A2000 format, and works well ... except for a couple of reports.
 
Using A2002 to compare the properties of one of the reports that works
and one that doesn't, I see some that are different, namely, PopUp,
Modal, Border Style.  The reports that don't work have these properties
to Yes/Yes/Modal; the ones that do work are No/No/Sizable.
 
So back I go to A2000, and, no sign of these properties on a Report.
Next, trying to be clever, and still in A2000, I try setting a
WindowMode property when I invoke the report - but that works only in
A2002 (well it syntaxes out in A2000).
 
In A2000 how do I change these properties?   I suppose a work-around
would be to change the properties under A2002, but this defeats the goal
of distributing one version only.
