Reports navigation target

We use frames in our web application and display reports in one of the
frame. When there is a link within a report to navigate to aother report,
the the target report would take over the entire browser window. How can I
set the navigation target to force the new report to stay within its own
frame?
Thanks in advance for any tips.Check out the topic "Using URL Access Parameters" in Books Online. I'm amking an assumption that in one frame you have links to reports that will appear in another frame. You should be able to use the rc:LinkTarget parameter in your "menu" link to the frame you want the report to appear in. This should set the report's hyperlinks to the correct target.
I have not tested this but the documentation makes it appear that this is the way it works.

I didn't get a chance to apply this on my report until yesterday. But I
found that your suggestion would not work on my situation.
My problem is that I can't use URL access directly. On the 'Navigation' tab
of the link's 'Advanced Properties' sheet, I have to choose 'Jump to report'
option rather than 'Jump to URL' because I need to carrier report parameters
from the source reprot to the target report.
Does anyone else have any other opinion? I believe this should be a very
common issue.

reporting server. When it relays the html to the client it uses regular
expressions to search for "target=_top" and change it to the proper window.
As far as I am concerned this is an enhancement that needs to be addressed -
if we weren't using a proxy I don't know of a way around it.
Bummer.
Good luck,
