I've been deploying an ACT! database with custom tables using the Durkin Toolkit.
Although having done this before, I once again found that I'd forgotten to copy the customised forms.
Here is how you get the customised forms (layouts) onto the workstations and laptops using RDB's (Remote Databases) - you need to copy the files from
DatabaseLocation\DatabaseName-database files\Layouts\_Toolkit\
on the server hosting the ACT! database to the same location on the workstation.
Thus if your ACT! database on the server is at D:\Data\ACT\Yourdatabase.pad
,
the location would be D:\Data\ACT\Yourdatabase-database files\Layouts\_Toolkit\
and you would copy it to the workstation with the RDB to, for example: C:\ACT\Yourdatabase-database files\Layouts\_Toolkit\
Hoping that helps some of you trying to find where those layouts went...
