Button for subscription not sending report

I am using Formula rich text to try and create a button that will send a subscription report that is in a different table in the same app.....  However, it is only taking me to the subscription report settings where I can send myself a "Test e-mail" but I'm looking for the button to automatically send the subscription report (I understand there is few minutes delay potentially).

This is my formula currently....

"<a class=\"Vibrant Primary\" style=\"width:310px; text-align: center;\" href=\"/db/"&"(MY OTHER TABLE ID INSERTED HERE)"&"?a=GenPeriodicReportEdit&id=1\">SEND REPORT</a>"

      Dear Mark:

      That worked like a charm!  Any advice on how to have the same button send a 2nd, separate report?

        Not tested but try this as a new field of type formula URL (not Formula Rich Text).

        var text SendSubOne  = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_ MY OTHER TABLE ID INSERTED HERE]
        & "?a=sendsubscription&id=1";

        var text SendSubTwo  = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_ MY OTHER TABLE ID INSERTED HERE]
        & "?a=sendsubscription&id=2";

        $SendSubOne
        & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($SendSubTwo)

        I would just make this as URL formula field type instead of a Formula Rich text field as then you do not need the difficult syntax.
