the .trc file is made from the xrd file when you compile. If you're using the palm os development suite based on eclipse and the error is in the top line, you'll probably find that the compiler is indicating a more specific error in the code somewhere. For example any error in a <name>.c file will probably also throw a <name>.o general error when it compiles it. Check that all the AppResources.xrd file has no parsing or other errors in it, or post the xrd file to check -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
