in CR4E 2, data fields & subreports appear as hyperlinks

Even though data fields and subreports DO NOT have hyperlinks turned on, they appear in the DHTML report viewer as though they do - i.e. in IE with the "hand" icon - and when a user clicks on it, they get the error shown below. The question: How can this feature be turned off?
