I do use the same creator ID for my app as my DB. Any other Ideas?
This is what I'm doing:
// set access permissions for the DB
mode = dmModeReadWrite;
// try and open the DB
SFourDB = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(sFourDBType, appFileCreator, mode);
if (! SFourDB)
{
// the DB does not exist, so create it
error = DmCreateDatabase(cardNo, sFourDBName, appFileCreator,
sFourDBType, false);
ErrFatalDisplayIf(error, "Could not create new database. \n");
// find the database
SFourDB = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(sFourDBType, appFileCreator,
mode);
// get info about the database
error = DmOpenDatabaseInfo(SFourDB, &dbID, NULL, NULL, &cardNo, NULL);
ErrFatalDisplayIf(error, "Could not get database info. \n");
// set defaults for application info block
AppInfoInit(SFourDB);
}
Create your database using the same creator ID as your
app, and all of the issues you mention will be taken
care of.
