Access97: Report will not open

In the past, I have made some changes to a report, and it seemed to work
just fine. I am recently trying to use it, but it won't open. I've tried to
make it report an error from within it's code, but it refuses to report any
error. I copied over a previous version of the report, and it opens as I
expect.
The underlying code for the form that is opening the report is no
different, nor is the code in the report itself, and the tables are exactly
the same. So, there must be some difference inside the report itself, but I
cannot find it.
Is there a way to force the report to give me an error? I am at wits' end
trying to figure out what the problem is.

Depending on whether you wish to know what the problem is, or wish to have
the report work ...

(First, BACKUP!)

If an older version works, what happens if you make a copy of the older
version and (re-)modify it to the new version you are trying for?

Have you recompiled?

Have you used Compact & Repair?

(I have encountered a "munged" report definition before, and just had to
throw it out and start over.)
 
Thanks for the help Jeff. I just copied over an older working version,
played around with it, and got it to where I needed it. I just hope there
is no other change that has now gone missing.

I should hold back my criticism of Access97, as it is 8 years old. ;)
Thanks anyways!
