I have just begun development of a database GUI for a pocket PC i have no
development experience with the compact framework and i would like to be able
to save the database i create as an MSAccess file (*.mbd), all the help files
show the database as .sdf. So how do i go about getting my VB app to create
and use an .mbd file that can then be transfered into Access
 
Thanks very much for that.

now my code works with the AdoCe syntax but i can not create a database file
with the code with the .sdf file it was created be the SQL engine is there a
similar component for the Ado code.

thanks again
 
I'm not sure I understand your question. What sort of product are you
looking for exactly?

Ginny....
Can you write to an Access database located "somewhere" other than on the
Pocket PC. IE I'm trying to write and or read from my Dell Axim using
windows Mobile to an Access database. I know I can get to my SQL Server
2000. Please help if possible.
Thanks

Paul,

You can use a product called AdoCe from www.inthehand.com to read and write
to a Pocket Access database. But you could only write to an Access database
located elsewhere from software running elsewhere too. You could use a Rapi
app to do it or perhaps a Web service.
