Your application's creator id is in the project setting (assuming you're
using Codewarrior). From the Edit Menu choose XXX Settings... then go to
the PalmRez Post Linker panel and set the Creator field in the Output File
pane to match the creator id you are using for your database in your source
code.
If you're not using Codewarrior, I'm not sure how you do this...
