you can change the creator type and/or ID of a database by using DmDatabaseInfo() and DmSetDatabaseInfo(), but the database probably needs to be closed for the call to DmSetDatabaseInfo() to work.
Another possibility is to export your data into an Office To Go spreadsheet - there's an API for that, which was easy to use. The only catch is that the spreadsheets have a limit as to how many rows they can support.

Here is another question from a novice Palm programmer:
My program collects data from a serial port and saves it to a database. I can browse the data using database functions while the program is running, and if I exit and restart the application, the original data is still there (if I don't choose to delete it). Also, if I look at the application info, I can see the number of records, so the data is clearly stored, but it is associated with my application (i.e. I don't have a separate 'file' that when I do HotSync would become a pdb, which then I can convert with a Desktop program)
Is this a setting of the database when it is created? I read the documentation on the database functions, but could not figure it out.
Another option I have considered is to transfer the data to the Documents to Go on the Palm (which comes with Palm TX). This would allow the user to inspect the data before transfering to the desktop. However, since this is a third party software, I could not find any info on how to call it (would it be Exchange Manager - How?) or any documentation on how to pass data to it. (I figure the DataViz folks in this group may be able to answer this one)
Thanks
