Hi Rich,

I wrote an article for revJournal on how to save data from
standalones, which might help:
<http://www.revjournal.com/tutorials/saving_data_in_revolution.html>.

However if the saving works in a particular folder only, maybe you
have hard-coded the path to that folder somewhere in your stack.
Perhaps you need to find the filename of the mainstack in order to
work out what folder the application is in.

HTH,
