Default view not defaulting

[Shaun]

Okay, i'm almost done with my first info path form but I can't get the
default view to actually work. It is set as the default but when i open up
the form it automatically goes to another, non-default form. Does anyone know
why this is happening?

Hi Shaun,

In design mode, if we select the non-default view in ‘Views window’ in task
pane then there is a chance of getting the non-default view as default
view.Please check in Views Window.

Thank You

still no luck. It seems that it's a repeatable problem. If i create a new
form with a primary data source and then later create a second view, if i
want to set that second view as the default it doesn't respect the choice. It
says (default) next to the view name but doesn't actually go there. Very odd.

It looks like it's a bug, Shaun; I can reproduce it too. As a workaround, try
this:
- Go to Tools > Form Options...
- Click on the Open and Save tab.
- Click on the Rules... button.
- Add a rule that switches to the view you want the form to switch to when
it's opened.
