Sure thing. Where it says Create New Discrepancy in the embedded report is the problem. If I look at that report in the NVG app that field is a Formula URL field which displays as a button and works correctly. Once I embed it, it no longer works.

    Are you trying to push a button while in Grid Edit Mode?  Is that embedded report in the screen shot in Grid Edit Mode.  If so then you cannot have a button in Grid Edit mode.

    The best you could do is to have a similar report not in Grid edit mode on the form where the user can push a button there.  So have similar report twice on the same form, one goes into Grid Edit mode and one does not.  In View mode only one would show.

    That is an excellent idea. All of the users are generally in edit mode using this form. I didn't realize grid edit mode would make the button not work. Thanks!
