Sounds like you've got some stuff messed up. You should not see any of
your app's databases in the delete dialog of the application launcher. The
main problem I see here is your use of strange type and appType labels.
Database types and creatorIDs are ALL *4* position alphanumerics. Your
fake ones are way too long, and are the 1st root of the problem. You need
to use only 4 characters, like 'XXXX' or something.
Next, the databases that your app creates must have the same creatorID as
the application itself. Here's a typical way things are set up:
CreatorID Type
YourApp 'Yapp' 'appl'
YourAppData 'Yapp' 'data'
Your main app DB (the program itself) is just a database with type 'appl'.
All of your data databases can have the same or different types, as long
as the creatorID is the same.
