Change report link within parent table report

I have a parent table report with a link to the default child table report to show all associated child records.

The issue I am facing is that the link takes me to the default report of that child table. It shows only the related child records (which is correct), but the formatting is horrendous.

I can edit the default report to add and remove fields, but because it is the default report, I cannot edit the column properties to give each column a more suitable name, align left/right/auto, etc.

I am stuck on how to fix this issue.

I have made other reports in the child table and embedded them in forms. These customized reports allow me to change the column properties. They work beautifully.

I cannot seem to figure out how to select one of these custom build reports to be associated with the link in the parent report, rather than the default child report.

Is it possible to change the URL address of the Parent report link to point to one of the custom child reports?

If not, how can I go about changing the default report column properties? I am guessing it is not possible based upon what I have read and tested.

Thoughts????

Have a look to the last response in this long thread.  it's your answer as to how to make a link to any report where the filters come off a record that you launch off of.
