I have a Contacts Database that I have several different Layouts for data Entry. How can I make a specific Layout be assigned to default for a certain record? For Example if I use Layout #2 when I create a record, when I open that record in browse mode, I want it to open in Layout #2.

I am not sure why you ask this question but presuming that you are scripting your finds and displays you could always store the layout name or number with the record and use your script to go to the same.

Be warned though that that method will almost certainly end in tears when you re-order your layouts or rename them or whatever.

Maybe a better approach would be to have a layout for say widgets and another layout for wodgets. That way you could store the item type with the record and then navigate to the appropriate layout for that type
