Hi miloes329,

try the following script snippet where you have to change the name of the master if you do not have an English version of InDesign:

// NOTE: The name can be different in different localized versions of InDesign.
// And the name of the master could  also be renamed of course.
var nameOfMaster = "A-Master";
var masterSpread = app.documents[0].masterSpreads.itemByName( nameOfMaster );

if( masterSpread.isValid )
{
	app.layoutWindows[0].activeSpread = masterSpread ;
}else
{
	alert( "Master not found:" + "\r" + nameOfMaster )
};
