I believe that I do have a conflict in the way I open the project which 
affects the standalone.
I will look into the 'start using' procedure (Monte also suggested 
this).

Neglected to mention that I have to save data that the user enters

It seems that the "My App.rev_components" is the same as "Data" but 
doesn't allow the saving of user entered data. In either case, it  
would be nice to be able to hide these folders from the user.  I had 
some success previously by using ResEdit  to make the files invisible 
but not the folder.

Thank you for your input.  I am going to revamp the way the project is 
opened.
