Sam,
The Property Reporter is new to Visio 2002. It reports on properties of
shapes, but it would not be able to report on connections.
I am not aware of other web resources besides MSDN. Based on your
description I think most of the Visio 2002 SDK documentation and code
samples there would work for you. (You can check the Visio developer
reference help to determine whether an automation property/method is new to
Visio 2002 or not.)
A 3rd party book that does a good job explaining things is Graham Wideman's
"Visio 2002 Developer's Survival Pack". Again much of this will be
applicable to Visio 2000.
