  Step 1:  Know Your Frame Names

Open a Report
As stated in the previous tutorial, each frame in a frameset is a Web page document in its own right, with its own filename. The file that lays out the frameset is also a file with a filename. You can target one frame so that it displays links that are clicked in a different frame. The first step is to name your frames and know the names. Right-click on the frame you want to be the target and choose Frame Properties.
  Step 2:  View Frame Properties

Open a Report
The Frame Properties dialog box appears. The name of the frame (main, in the image shown above) is the target you'll use. Click OK to close Frame Properties.
  Step 3:  Target a Link

Open a Report
Next, you need to associate the destination frame's name--main--with the links that you want to target. Right-click on a link, if you have already created one, and select Hyperlink Properties (or press Alt + Enter).
  Step 4:  Click Target Frame

Open a Report
In the Edit Hyperlink dialog box, click the button with a pencil icon on it, next to the Target frame box.
  Step 5:  Select the Target Frame

Open a Report
The Target Frame dialog box opens. The frameset arrangement is displayed. Click on the frame that you want to serve as the target for the link--in this case, the right-hand frame beneath the banner frame, named "main." Click OK. Then click OK to close Edit Hyperlink. You can test the targeted link by pressing Ctrl and clicking on the link. The targeted frame (main) should display the page associated with the link. Repeat these steps for every link (either a new or existing link) you want to target.
