Find_report_object('rp2rro') how can this work?

Question

Hi
I've spent a long time looking thru metalink (now Support) at the various posts and documents on calling reports from forms using the run_report_object that the translator replaces run_product with, and here and I'm frankly still looking for direction .
This code is in rp2rro.pll and of course dies, as there is no rp2rro report
rp2rroNodeId                Report_Object     :=find_report_object('rp2rro');
I have a menu that calls something called execute_report with just a report name (e.g. end_month_report). execute_report is in a user library and contains a call to rp2rrro. It looks like this
PROCEDURE execute_report(i_report IN VARCHAR2) IS
-- Code modified by the Forms Migration Assistant
-- 11-Jan-2011 01:58 PM
BEGIN
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE, 'BUSY');
RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, i_report, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM);
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE, 'DEFAULT');
END;
Can anyone suggest a way to make this work without modifying the forms?
Looking at Rp2rro, it uses rp2rroNodeId throughout..
Thanks for any suggestions

Well almost a year later, the dummy form solution has been working well with 11GR1, but I have some issues understanding how to make the dummy form call reports using parameters passed in the rp2rro call using this approach
If a form calls the dummy form with a parameter list containing e.g. start_date, end_date etc then the problem is that the dummy form doesn't have those parameters defined because it can be called from many different forms each with its own set of parameters.
As I read in the 6i doc "+When passing the default parameter list as well as any other parameter list, make sure that every parameter exists with the same name in the called form"+ which doesn't work as the dummy form doesn't have those parameters defined.
I'm trying to centralize all the rp2rro report invocations so that developers don't have to add the web.show_document and the hidden values and the rest of that logic to bring a PDF form back into the web browser
I'm trying out a number of things but would be interested if anyone has any comments..
