Thanks a bunch! I did have appl set for my Type, but I didn't remember
placing it there. heh It must have been done when I first created the
workspace.
As for appending the Creator ID to the end of the database name, yeah, I've
seen quite a bit about it. I believe Richard is right when he said to add a
hypen to the end of the database name, and then throw on the Creator ID. I
believe the last time I read it was from the O'Reilly book.
