I know ActiveSync can convert a microsoft access database *.mdb into a
pocketpc .cdb . But sometimes it can't convert some fields like GUID
dataType which I required. Is there a way to force ActiveSync to
convert GUID dataType field on access .mdb into String dataType on the
pocketPC .cdb and sync.
 
Pocket Access (.cdb) doesn't support GUIDs and there is no way (directly at
least) to convert GUID columns to string types on conversion.

GUID is so commonly used.. And it's not how hard to convert.. OK.. is
this there a way to tell ActiveSync how to convert or any outside
solution without writing a large application?
 
You can create GUIDs on the device using this code and then store it into a
string:

Would this help?
