How to hide a report from folder or allow user to access detail thru Summary only

We have a Summary and Detail Report, and we want to restrict the user to Navigate to Detail report only thru Summary Report. I did some research and did the following but it is not working, so I need your help

1. I created Summary Report in a Folder called Marketing

2. Then I created a Folder Hidden Reports, and gave No Access to Everyone, so that nobody can see that there is a Folder

3. Then I created a Detail Reports Folder under Hidden Reports Folder, and gave View On Demand to Everyone and copied the Detail Report into Hidden Reports Folder. The Net Access to Hidden Reports is View on Demand

But when I click on the link from Summary Reports, I am getting the following error:

Report Linking Error

There was an error retrieving data from the server:

<Entire Path to the folder>

Detail Report cannot be found!

When I search for the detail report in Search Box, it is showing the report, if I click on that report it is working, and also if I give View on Demand to Detail Reports Folder, the link is working, so there is no syntax error in the Link.

Anybody knows the solution to this problem, or what am I missing here?

Thank you in advance,

Srini.
