Robert,
If you want the user to be able to delete databases they don't want and
you want the app and databases to have the same creator id (which they
rightly should), you'll have to create that functionality inside your
application. If the user does a delete from the launcher and the app
and dbs have the same creator id, everything will be deleted. That's
expected functionality and the way all Palm apps should work. The
databases could have a different creator id, but that's kind of messy.
It could potentially create just the situation you describe - databases
with no app.

As I recall, all of the databases have the SAME creator ID as the App,
but I'll double check to make sure. Also, I don't want the user to be
able to delete a database if it also deletes the App. If so, there
would be the remaining databases left with no App!
Shouldn't the user be able to delete databases that he no longer wants
with the application...WITHOUT deleting the App? Let's say, for
example,
that each database represents a level of a game. If I delete one of the
levels that I don't play anymore, I don't want it to delete the game...
just the level database.
Am I missing something?
