This week's vultured tip is a gem posted by Bryce Berry on Notes.Net (or whatever they're calling it this week) back on October 2003.  I've been using it with modifications ever since.

Suppose you want to produce a set of documents for a particular user. Embedded views are not fully printable, so you set up a shared private on first use (POFU) view, and set it up to save the private view on the server. So far so good. However, if you change the shared view, the users won't necessarily inherit the design changes; they'll keep reopening their private view.

I use Bryce's tip to scotch the user's private view whenever the user exits the application.  The view gets rebuilt every time the user opens the database, with the current shared view design.  Works with folders, too.
