After looking in the directory after the debugger started I see the debugging app is creating it's own directory. db.databasefile = GetFolderItem("profiles") So I'm guessing an absolute path needs to be setup for debugging? Please tell me there's another way of doing it as I like to transfer the project between computers.

RB has been doing this for (about) 8 releases. You can either 'run paused' and copy the profiles file into the debugging folder, or recode your app so that it looks in a specific place for the files. That way, it works in debug or release. You could have an #if debug so that it looks in one place for debug, and one for release. And the best way to handle it is to put these 'support files' into either Application Support folders (Application Data under Windows) , or <user>/Documents/<my app> if the file is a document that you want to be more visible.
