Anyone know why this works fine on a PC but causes director to crash on the Macintosh side?

I think that if you set break point and stop just before GetRecordCount()
Then you will see that mySlidesCursor contains not normal value.
E.g. Some big negative integer value.

This means that cursor was not created.
You should always check Valentina Error after cursor creation.

I think you will find some error code that Valentina have return you.
