I must be losing my mind. No matter what I try, I cannot effectively connect to a database when creating a Smart Device application. My original intent was to create an Access XP table, but I can't connect to it. Is this even possible

I have been reading for hours on the M$ sight and have not found a single reference on connecting to a simple database. Any ideas

In a nutshell, I would like to create a read-only secure database that is updated regularly, but the data is not maintained, it is replaced each time during the update. It's more or less a specialized address book but must be separate and secured. Using VS 2k3, piece of cake, but for the life of me, cannot find a way to do the smae thing on PPC2k2. Any help is appreciated.
 
Take a look at the SqlCe data classes. Pocket Access has zero security and
it doesn't have a managed interface.
