lindsay Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hello, I am trying to add a new layout that I created, to an already existing file with multiple layouts in it.... I saw that you could export records, but am I able to export the layout and then import it into my existing document? please help! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hi No and Yes ! No, you can't export your new layout... Yes, you can import it, but wit copy and paste ! If the fields that are in the new layout, are also in the destination file, your job is ended ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 you will have to recreate the layout parts though... header, footer, subsummary, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsay Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks to both of you...unfortunately the destination file does not have the same fields as the new layout, and there are alot of calculations....do I have to recreate them?

Reed Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 calculations don't live in the layout, they live in the field definitions...(whether they should or not) So if you paste the layout into the new file, you can just redefine what field the layout object refers to by double-clicking it, and choosing the appropriate field from a list.
