Hi Ruslan,

Yes, RB (RS now, I guess) and Snow Leopard. He's trying to open the database.

It's on open, but I don't know if it's on db.open (I can't reproduce it on my machine, so I can't figure it out in the debugger). My app can also write to the database on open (to update things). What causes the "File does not exist" error, then?
