Question re large project organization

[William Prothero]

Jackie:

I had to uncheck that “Copy reference files” to get all of my other files in the standalone. I’ll have to investigate further, because, given the clear explanation you gave below, it should not affect the other data files that are in the folder whose contents I expect to be copied into the standalone.
