to clarify it more.. if i dont know anything about the other
application's database (name, creator, type etc )... and even if I go
searching the databases one by one how to know a perticular database
belongs to the application? ( assuming that the appInfo block in
database is blank).. if it is possible then please anyone tell me.. if
not is it necessary to know the creator or name of the database?

thanks
