Changing the main layout for my database

[dougL]

Hi, I am trying to change the layout that loads when I first enter my database. This seems like it would be rather simple but I've been trying to figure it out for a while without any luck.

 

I changed it under File-> File Options and that works for a second but then the original layout comes back immediately without any user interaction.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The typical approach to this is to create a script that navigates to the layout that you want and assign it to the File Options perform script. Also, add a Close Script and have it navigate to the layout that you wish to view upon open.

Thank yoU!  That was exactly the information I needed to fix my problem!

The reason it was still going to the original layout was because it was directed by both the "Switch to Layout" option as well as a script. I had changed the "Switch to Layout" but didn't look to see if there was a script set up as well. Thats why it would flash the layout I wanted for a second and then the script would run and it would go back to the original layout.
