FWIW...Solved it!

When creating a standalone, I used the default settings in regards to the 
"inclusions" which is to "Search for required inclusions when saving the 
standalone application." Having something work from the IDE but not from the 
Standalone means LiveCode apparently is not finding the right "inclusions." 

I set it the standalone settings to manually select  the inclusions. Then  I 
selected all inclusions from Animation through Printing, built my standalone, 
and then everything worked. Then I went back and selected just the original 
three, Geometry, Internet, and Printing and it worked again. 

It seems like the radio button that has LiveCode search for inclusions in the 
Standalone Settings does not always find correct inclusions. My guess is since 
it uses a go ULR "http://etc.etc... call it needs the Internet inclusion and 
was not getting it.

Seems from now on it's best to guess which inclusions are needed and select 
those manually if you have a project working in the IDE but not as a 
standalone? Is this a common issue?

Thanks!
