Access DB on a pocket PC

I started VB.2005 a few months ago and have progressed and now I want to try
and writea program for the Pocket PC.

My "playing around" program is simple and I have an Access DB that I want to
read one record in a form, and go to another form with three tabs to display
the data.

I can build the forms and tabs and go between forms. I can get the build to
my pocket PC with WM5.

My data would be local on the pockec PC and it is in Access. My research is
pointing to the need to get the data into SQL Mobile. I have no idea how to
start that process.

Another note is my pocket pc is wm5 but my vb.2005 only shows an wm3 option.
The build did transfer via activesync and run on the pocket pc. It also
created a program in the program file direcory on the pocket pc.

THanks,
Steve

Stephen,

Not to send you away here, but the compact newsgroups are very active and
therefore is probably seldom done compact computing in this newsgroup.

One of those
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework.

Cor,

I did post in the pocketpc newsgroup and Ginney did give me guidance,

Thanks,
Steve

PS. I hate to cross-post but I'm really new at VB.NET and not always sure
where to go for assitance.
