Open File then Goto specific Layout

[MikeK]

I am having trouble opening a specific file then going to a specific layout. As far as I can see, I can only the default, or original layout after opening a file. I want to be able to open a file (after clicking a button) and go to a SPECIFIC layout.

Can this be done?

I'm a little confused as to when you are going to the layout.

If it is when the file first opened (by clicking on it's icon), than you need to create a script called "Open" with the following step

Go to layout (YouNameIT)

Then you need to go to the Document Preferences and in the "When Opening (yourfilename.fp5), Perform Script (choose Open).

If it is when it is being used through a relationship, there are additional steps involved, so let us know.

Specifically, here is what I have.....

While in my Client.fp5 file, from the main screen, I want a button that will go to the SEARCH screen in my work_order.fp5 file. The problem is that in that file, there are 4 layouts. From within my client.fp5 file, I want to end up having 2 different buttons that open the work_order.fp5 file and goto a specific layout.

Are these files being served?

Yes, these files are being Served......I figured it out.....I just made a script that runs a sub-script. Works just fine.
