Found the answer to this question.
I am creating a report where the search (dropdown menu) opens the results in a different web page (my search options are embedded in one web page and the results are embedded in another page). Basically, I have a web page with options on how to search (dropdown menu or an image with selectable areas). The links on the image with selectable areas (counties on a map) all have URLs with the parameter added. Those links go to the web page that has the results form and work fine.
My problem is using Caspio to create a dropdown form element on this same search page, next to the image with the links. When I click the "Search" button after selecting an item from the dropdown menu, I need it to go to another web page, using a URL with the parameter, to view the results. Functionally, I can do this with a "Submission" form, and it works, but it adds a record to the table each time, which I don't want. When I try to do this with a "Report" form I always get the results on the search page (embedded) rather than a link with the parameter that goes to another web page that has the results.
Thanks for any help/guidance.
