Classic Application

I am trying to get my application to work in Mac OS 9. I am using RunRev 2.6.1 and it is working fine in Windows and Mac OS X. Now I have been trying to test it on Mac OS 9 and I cannot get it to work. 

Here's how my program works.

The start up stack loads a library wrapper stack where all the database handlers are located. The other stacks make calls to the handlers in the library.  

Now, I put the VXCMD_Classic_MC in the Extensions folder and I copy the CODE from the VXCMD_Test.mc to the library stack. The library stack is MetaCard stack not a RunRev, stack in case that makes a difference. I even set the path of the externals to the VXCMD_Classic_MC in the Extensions folder. I have tried different combination by copying the CODE to the start up stack and the stacks that call the library but no luck. I get and error message when I open the start up stack "A program error has occurred. Please try again. (DBError)." If I run the VXCMD_Test.mc it runs fine. My guess is, it is not finding the external for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
