Hello,

We have build a program in CF 2 (windows mobile 5) to connect to an
sql server get some data, do some stuff in the mobile (client) and
upload them back to the server.

Now a client has the same infrastructure execpt the database is in DB2
format (excactly the same tables). As far as I have read it's not
possible to connect to DB2 and there is no OLEDB for CF.

What options do I have? I was thinking o f using an MS access file
which has linked tables from the DB2 database. But still can't find a
way to connect to an access database.
 
You might want to check out Sync Services for ADO.NET, which allows you to
write sync connectors for non-Microsoft databases. If you take this route,
you'll cache the data locally on your device using SQL Server Compact and
sync it with your DB2 data using Sync Services.
