nbsp   Whats a creator ID, and do I need one?
A creator ID is a unique identifier issued by Palm that identifies each Palm application. For reasons best known to themselves, Palm decided that each conduit must be associated with a creator ID. An application with that creator ID must exist on the Palm device during a HotSync or the conduit will not be called. You need to join the Palm OS Developer Program in order to register your creator IDs. Just because a conduit is associated with a particular creator ID doesn’t mean that you can only access data for that application. You can open any Palm database in any conduit. So, do you need one? Maybe. If you need to guarantee that there is a creator ID that is not being used by another conduit, then you will need to create a small Palm application, register a creator ID, and install the application on the Palm devices you want to sync. There are changes afoot for PalmOS 6, where you will be able to bypass this requirement somewhat.
