Hello Michael,
I think this is a question for Scott Prentice, to tell you the truth. I hope he's listening.

I _was_ able to resolve my issues, but you've done a couple of things I didn't have to, so our situations are different.

First, I was (am) working with the DITA applications and used the Adobe-supplied EDDs and DTDs. I never had to build my own structured applications.

Second, "all" I ever did was change the references in the structapps file so that the applications, and associated templates and content, would work whether I opened them on my system, or on my client's system. For the longest time, they did...then all of a sudden they didn't. Long story, but I don't think it was a technical issue. In attempting to fix the references, I think I introduced a few errors of my own, which made things more confusing. In the end, I opted to rebuild my templates from scratch, again using the default EDDs.

Till you hear from someone with real expertise, I'll just note that-- in my very humble opinion--you seem to have a few files and folders in the wrong places. Have you moved (or copied) things from the folders they were installed to? That could be a big part of the problem, especially if the Structured Application directory, and structapps.fm in particular, are involved, as they appear to be. I do not believe structapps.fm should be moved from its original location. Just make sure it references your templates and folders correctly. (Make a back-up of structapps.fm if you're ever tempted to modify it. This is the beast's frontal lobe. Bad things happen if you poke it in the wrong place ;-) If you change anything, make sure to reread the application definitions, from the StructureTools menu.

I wish you the best of luck--this learning curve drove me bananas and back again.
