I don't know what you mean by the creator Id of my application... I use the
same code
you attached to get and set my app's preferences, and I use the same crid as
I use
for my application's database, but does the application itself have a crid?
I don't see
anywhere that it is set, am I missing a function that tells the OS what the
application's
Id is?
Thanks,
Marty
