Error saving standalone -- revisited yet again

Frank,

I'm a very new user and I'm not sure my help would be that valuable but I've
struggled with the identical problem and here's what I discovered...

- Someone, somewhere suggested to change the preferences in the "Standalone
Application Settings to NOT search for required inclusions when saving,
select your own appropriate libraries instead. Once I did this 90% of my
problem went away.
- The other 10% would happen when I didn't have my stacks properly nested
and had transcript code pointing to stacks that were supposed to be
substacks but, for whatever reason, I made them into mainstacks instead.
Once I either corrected the hierarchy of stacks, or fixed the transcript the
standalone error went away.

Hope this helps.
