I know that by default, when you create folders via Lotusscript, the design of those folders will be based on the default view in the database.

Here's what I want to do instead. Have created a SearchFolder, with columns, action buttons up in the action bar, etc. As people do searches via a form, Lotusscript creates their own personal search results folder (if this is their first time.) I'd like those personal search results folders to have the look and action bar of that master "SearchFolder" that I designed.

Haven't come across anyway to do this (though you can manually indicate a design to inherit if you create a folder manually), so I have been creating a folder that inherits layout of default database view (which is totally the wrong kind of layout for the search results), then been using lotusscript to delete the columns, lol, and copy over the columns from the master "SearchFolder", lol, talk about laborious. But still it works -- BUT the action bar of course is still missing, and it's really important as it contains buttons like "clear search results", etc.
