It certainly does work at runtime. My two questions therefore would be:
1) Instead of doing importFileInto member("/Prefs/bhen"), the
applicationPath & "/" & "Prefs"&"/"&"bhen.txt"
that you instead do:
importFilename =the applicationPath & "/" & "Prefs" & "/" & "bhen.txt"
importMember =member("/Prefs/bhen")
alert "Importing "&importFilename&" into member "&importMember
importFileInto(importMember, importFilename)
and see just exactly what it thinks it is importing into where.
2) Is xxx "/" xxx valid? Usually it's a backslash ("\") not a forward
slash as you have it.
3) Does the import member exist?
