Mac's ResEdit?

A developer has made a simi-ERP database on 4D platform. he may put some security on the resource of the application so that nobody can open the files except on the application he built. not on the database platform itself.
since im green with ResEdit. i could only view the resource. ResEdit help didnt really help me in interpretting the items i see.
the accounting application can open the file as i said earlier, but the option of export database is dimmed.
all i want to do, is to make that application able to export the accounting book (database), so that i can view it using 4D.
any word of advice? or a place where i can learn more about the tricks of ResEdit?
thanking u in advance

 
What you want to do is alter the file type and creator codes to and from those of the intended file format and application in question. I believe there's a menu option in ResEdit for File Info, this is one way to make these changes... there are other utilities out there as well that will do the same, only easier.

Security by metadata is a joke when you don't have a permissions system to protect it.
