[AccessD] Report properties - A2000 vs A2002

Not a clue ... Unless some of them were actually created in 2002.

Thanks Charlotte - if I catch you right, I can do the changes in 2002
and then back-port to 2000?  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.
