As in all versions of ACCESS you need the correct .MDW file as well as a username/PW combination in order to change the design.
Otherwise you can not change the report.

Create a new dbase identical to the old one and then drag and drop the report into the new one. That's how I did it.

and guess what..it didn't work!!!That's funny, works all the time for me. You probably did, but just in case, drop the queries first.
Sorry it didn't help.
