RIGHT of course:

Runtime/MAC OS X/Universal/EXTERNALS/V4REV.bundle
Runtime/MAC OS X/Universal/EXTERNALS/Externals.txt

Runtime/MAC OS X/Universal/EXTERNALS/Database Drivers/dbvalentina2
Runtime/MAC OS X/Universal/EXTERNALS/Database Drivers/Database Drivers.txt

Not into the same!!!
    Database Drivers subfolder. See above.

Contents is (one line in each file):


================================
Runtime/MAC OS X/Universal/EXTERNALS/Externals.txt
================================
Valentina2,v4rev.bundle


================================
Runtime/MAC OS X/Universal/EXTERNALS/Database Drivers/Database Drivers.txt
================================
Valentina2,dbvalentina2

right

I already have answer:

  * Because Revolution SEARCHES for this /External/Database Driver folder.

I see you use UPPER CASE, although for Windows this should not matter.
In fact case is shown in my lines.
