ReportEngine.SetReportProperties allows you to change the properties of a report when the user selects it in the Reports Explorer. Also, if the script returns False, Stonefield Query displays a warning message that the report is unavailable to the user and they cannot run it or edit it.

Parameters
A reference to the Stonefield Query Application object and a reference to a Report object for the report.

Return Value
True if the user can access the report, False to flag the report as unavailable to this user.

Example
Suppose you rename the STATE field in the CUSTOMERS table to REGION in version 2.0 of your application. As a result, any report designed in version 1.0 using that field won't work in 2.0 because the STATE field no longer exists. So, the following code renames the STATE field to REGION if it exists in the selected report. The code starts by putting all the existing fields into an array so we can put them back into the fields collection later if necessary. It then renames STATE to REGION if that field is found. If the name was changed, the code updates the collection since we can't change the name of objects in the collection because name is used as the object's key.
