Layouts in another file

[Ben Ball]

I have a main database.

I have a link to a second database where I have a script that will open the file and send me to a certain layout. based upon who I am.

This works fine and is based on a script that works when the file is opened.

The problem I now have is when the file is being shared and is already opened, the script will no longer work as it is remote and the startup script is no longer working.

I can't see a way to directing someone to a certain layout from another file??

Basically scriptmaker will not show me layouts from another file?? Is this possible?

Is it possible to automatically open a remote file through a script? I have lookad at the script steps available but I cannot see where to select the file I want?

Or, does anyone have any other ideas on how I can achieve this?

Thanks,

Ben
