It doesn't seems to work with Report Writer open. Try this

CREATE REPORT myreport nowait
*DOCK WINDOW ("report designer - myreport.frx") POSITION 0
DOCK WINDOW ("report controls") POSITION 1

IF WEXIST("Layout")
	ACTIVATE WINDOW Layout
        DO Part2
ELSE
	 KEYBOARD "{ALT+V}T{DNARROW}{DNARROW}{DNARROW}{DNARROW}{SPACEBAR}{CTRL+W}{CTRL+F2}DO part2{ENTER}"
ENDIF

RETURN
*------------------------------
PROC Part2
DOCK WINDOW ("layout") POSITION 1
