Herman, Thanks for the informative link to info about creatorIDs. However, since the StartupCode.lib project outputs a PalmOS Library (check the 68K Target section of the project settings) instead of a Palm application database (or any other type of database), the Post Linker is never run, and therefore all settings in PalmRez Post Linker are ignored, including creatorID. Changing the creatorID from ???? to something else has no impact whatsoever on StartupCode.lib.
