Report Link on Report

When using a report link on a form (or on a report) and using the 'Display a link to the records' option, is there a way to select the drilldown report? Or can you only view the default report?

  • no and yes.

    Natively, when you click the report link button you only get the default report.   I really want to control the target report, then the rick is to make a Report of the target records with an <ask the user> filter and then construct a formula URL to run the report and self answer the <ask the user> question, thus landing the user directly on the target report.

    Typically that URL will look like

    URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_Target_Table] & "?a=q&qid=99&nv=1&v0="

    & URLEncode([field on the parent record which knows the answer to the <ask the user> question])

  • As far as I'm aware, if you use the link instead of showing the records on the form, you have to use the default report.
