New(?) Idea for Standalones

[Roger Guay]

James, Kelly and Brian,

Thanks for sticking with me on this. 

Perhaps, to smooth out this process, I should look for an uncertified app to download to my own machine, instead of working off of her machine. Have you any suggestions for that?

Answers to some of your question:
I emailed a standalone app  to my wife called StackOmatic that opens stacks (works on my machine)
I tried double and right clicking from the email then... 
I saved it to her Desktop and also to her Downloads where I tired both double clicking and right clicking again 
In every case, I end up with the dreaded "You do not have permission to open the application “StackOmatic”. “Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance” with a simple “OK” button.

HTH,

Roger
