When creating relationships between tables the system automatically creates a link field and add new field.  The link field, when selected will open either a report or form for the associated child records.  What I am seeing is that if there are multiple children then the link will open the results in the report view, however if there is only 1 child then the link will open the result in the form view.  Is there any way to force the link to always open in report view regardless of how many children?

Thanks

That is how a report link behaves.

If you really want to force a report then you will need to build you own URL formula field.   iI you want to go though those hoops to do that post back and I will explain how to make an <ask the user> report and run it from the URL formula button.

Assume you know that you can set the form to show the child records directly on the form so of course that will always be a report.

But maybe you are using the report link field on a report.
