THe chances are the system doesn't know about your app's creator
code. You might have to rebuild the launch services database, you can
do so with the following command:
rm ~/Preferences/LS*
Then log out and back in (or maybe just relaunch the finder)
Otherwise, if the file is just data, you can use BINA or whatever
file type you want since it's probably only readable by your app.

I have an application that creates binary data files. What should the file
type be set to for these files?
The binary data files are not image files or movie files, they only contain
data.
Also, is there a trick in Project Builder to assigning the correct creator
code for an application?
I've specified the creator code in the "Signature" field in Basic Information
section under Application Settings in Project Builder and I'm creating files
with the same creator code. But for some reason, if I double click on any of
my data files, I get a dialog box saying there's no application associated
with the file.
