A new default layout

[ibiubu]

Question: After designing a database file with numerous layouts, I dumped the very first layout that I had created. Now I want a different layout to be the default layout. I have tried to do a script that runs when the file is opened that will force the database to my new default layout, but it seems this script is only successful about half the time.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?

If your startup script has a go to layout step in it, it should work unless the file is opened indirectly by a related file or by an external call to perform some other script in it, in which case your startup script won't execute. Why not just change the layout order so that your default layout is at the top of the layout list. That will make it the true default layout.
