Understanding High Scores

Hello everyone. I have an app 99% ready to go, but I am stuck big time on high scores. Here's what I do not understand - 1. If a user uninstalls and then reinstalls my app, will there be any way to load high scores? Is this what GameCenter is for? 2. I have a table with my scores in it, but when I completely closet the app on my iPad and then reopen it, the high scores are always reset to 0, even though I have saved the table at the end of each of my four levels. It's like the data is not saved in my table, even though i am using the save table attribute. Please someone help me understand these issues. Thank you

I believe if the app is un-installed and re-installed any saved information is lost in the un-install. If a your game has been set up for game center the user is asked by the system if they want to delete the game center info as well.
When you save high scores, you still need to re-load them to display them when you relaunch the app. So you're tables are probably being saved, you just need to load them and tell Gamesalad to display the loaded information as needed.
