Quickbooks web connector OwnerID/FileID usage

Question

I would like to know what exactly does OwnerID/FileID in a QWC file signify. I went through the QBWC_proguide but still it is somewhat unclear to me. I am new to this so please can somebody elaborate this. Thanks in advance!

Nothing. :-/

They really serve no purpose except to make sure that you can't load the same .QWC file twice. You can safely make up these values (they have to be valid GUID values) and even change them if you need to legitimately re-load a .QWC file and QuickBooks won't let you.
