I'm having trouble using a remote reference in an Org-= mode spreadsheet.

The Info node entitled "Reference= s" says that the first argument to the "remote()" expression= "... can also be the ID of an entry, even in a different file, ...&qu= ot;. What does this mean? What is the syntax for defining and referring to = an "ID"?

I tried making a file called "report.org" like this:

* report output
:PROPERTIES:
:CU= STOM_ID: foo
:END:

| abcde | 1= 7 |
| xyzzy | 42 |

And then I tried to refer to it from an Or= g-mode spreadsheet in a different file, like this:

#+TBLFM: @2$1=3Dremote(file:<= a href=3D"http://report.org#foo">report.org#foo, @2$2)

But it said "invalid reference".=
