Hi Mister,
i've tried iTunes sync
I believe sync is not the way to do that
To share files/folder via iTunes you have to set the file sharing to true in standalone application setting.
Then you can export your files in a folder of documents folder. The folder appear on the iTunes pane when you select your app.
I use this for one iPad app, no tested with iPhone. I hope it also works for iPhone
Best regards

Jean-Marc,

I can't thank you enough, you saved me. I was ready to quit. I even have a customer for this app, albeit a small one. I can't recall seeing that "solution" in all the lessons/forums that i searched and it's usually the simple things (check a box in a standalone) that stump me.

Thank you for answering my question,

Larry
