Hello, Mathew.

I think the problem is in the application, not the distribution pack.
If you have your data in a DATA subdirectory, just set the path there in the application startup:
SET PATH TO DATA
Better yet, you can use some kind of configuration file to tell the app where the data directory is.

Maybe it works ok at your development machine beacuse you set the path in Options dialog (under Tools menu). But you don't have this configuration ported at the distribution.

Hope this helps.
