Since your app gets opened "above" the Palm OS resource DBs, typically this only causes a problem when you've got a bug...like a missing resource, which just happens to match the resource type/id of something found in one of the lower resource DBs. So if your resource types are all custom (not all lower-case, and not the same as any of the currently defined upper/mixed case types) then you won't run into this problem. If and when Palm releases the PrcChecker tool, it will warn about resource IDs in the reserved range, use of reserved resource types, etc. -- Ken Ken Krugler TransPac Software, Inc. <http://www.transpac.com> +1 530-470-9200 -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
