Mystic ... Questions:

** How your app find DB files?
    they are located near to APP?

    So app uses something as
        path = the movie path & "dbname.vdb"
    ?


** what exactly error you get?
    file not found?
    there is no rights to open file?


** may be try to mark db files to be read only before put them on CD ...
