Managed Reporting Drill Down Question

I have an HTML page in Managed Reporting that launches a report that resides on the reporting server. The report itself drills down to another report that also resides on the reporting server. The problem is that WebFOCUS forms the URL for the drilldown as if the drilldown resides in Managed Reporting. Any ideas as to how to get around this problem?

Thanks.

What I ended up doing:

Created a Fex in MR that includes the fex we want to drilldown to. The main report that has the drill link calls the fex in MR instead of the drilldown link. Kind of nuts but seemed the best solution

Actually, that is a very reasonable solution. I do that a lot - have tiny fexes in MRE (we call them stubs) that only have -INCLUDEs in them - keeps all the complicated code out of MRE.

We have tons of stubs too. The part that I find nuts is that I have a report on the reporting server that drills down to a fex that doesn't even exist on the reporting server but the thing will work at run time....
