Accessing SDF From Client App

I'm wondering if this is even possible. I have a sales force that has a "disconnected" client application that was written in VB6 and uses MSDE as it's back end. This application then synch's with our home office server

They have requested hand held support. Is there a way to access the Windows SQL Server CE file (i.e. the SDF file) from VB6? I'd rather have my users initiate the synch from there then have to start up the application on their hand helds and click a button to synch up

Just wondering - Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Unfortunately no.

well the desktop could launch a 'helper' application on the pocketpc that
'clicks the button' as it were
 
Could you give me an example of how that would work? I would be very interested in doing that
