In the first letter I have write on start

* this is REALBasic bug.
   you should put this bug into their bug system.


The lines 
   pathDB = defaultDBFolderItem.AbsolutePath
   myDB = new FolderItem( pathDB )

Is workaround of this bug. Jon have also even better workaround,
He use not absolute path, but extract parent folderitem and name
And using this reconstruct new folderitem.


Kevin, you are right, result is the same.
And we MUST NOT do this if all right.
But we have little bug in REALbasic.
