This statement is failing but the file is in the right folder (same as the project folder): OrdersDB.databaseFile = GetFolderItem("Orders.rsd") Am I doing anything wrong?

NOT necessarily where you project is stored _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.7.3 RB2011r3 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top Oskar Post subject: Re: Orders example not loading Orders.rsd on WindowsPosted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 3:52 pm Joined: Sat Nov 26, 2005 4:51 am Posts: 340 Yes and now I also built the app and the build version works fine, but for some reason when I'm in debug mode it does not load the file.

This is deleted once I quit debugging. So how do I test a database program in debug?

OSX and WIN will probably soon enforce that.. so now is a good time to start puting it the correct place (see other posts on this forum discussing proper file locations) _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.7.3 RB2011r3 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top Oskar Post subject: Re: Orders example not loading Orders.rsd on WindowsPosted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 4:59 pm Joined: Sat Nov 26, 2005 4:51 am Posts: 340 DaveS wrote:follow proper conventions..... and Don't put the DB in the same folder as the APP.
