Thanks to those who’ve replied so far with this. I’m using 4D 15.5 build 15.216758 on Mac OS X 10.13.1
I think that I’ve followed the instructions for creating a default data file - I have a Default Data folder next to my .4db file, and this contains the default data file (Default.4dd, Default.4Dindx and Default.Match). Having built the application, if I inspect the package contents, I see Contents/Database and this contains my 4DC compiled application, with the populated Default Data folder alongside it. However, I cannot make this application run at all. It tells me that the data file is locked and it’s impossible to open the database. The only way it will open is if I put a data file in the same folder as the built application, So it looks like the data file which is wrapped up inside the application can’t be used, even though no write access is required. I haven’t got as far as signing my application - I didn’t think I needed to do this, as I am simply copying the application directly to individual computers on the network. I usually use Remote Desktop to copy the built application to all computers on the LAN. Hope someone can help further with this.
