A popular cross-platform function to get the
appropriate path was written by Richard Gaskin:
##
function AppPath
put the filename of this stack into tPath
set the itemdel to "/"
If (IsOSX()) then
get offset(".app/Contents/MacOS/", tPath)
if it > 0 then -- 2.4.3 or later
delete char it to len(tPath) of tPath
end if
end if
delete last item of tPath
return tPath &"/"
end AppPath
function IsOSX
if the platform is not "MacOS" then return false
get the systemversion
set the itemdel to "."
if item 1 of it >= 10 then return true
return false
end IsOSX

(for a more complete explanation, go to:

So, armed with the function above, you can change the
path to the report layout file as follows:
##
on mouseUp
-- prep all the variables
put AppPath() & "reports/myreport.qrl" \
into tLayoutPath
put "MyDataStack" into tStackName
put true into tPreviewFlag
put "all" into tCardRange
-- and print the data stack
qrtReports_PrintReportFromStack \
tLayoutPath,tStackName,tPreviewFlag,tCardRange
end mouseUp

Hope this helped,

Jan,
Thanks for all your help with this - it is very much appreciated. I
now have my program generating attractive reports on both the Mac and
Windows :-). I'm very pleased with Quartam Reports and I'm looking
forward to seeing what v1.1 brings.
Thanks,
Karen
