Re: Data Menu in toobox ?
access databases do not exist on windows ce, only sql server ce (free licence).
So there is no way to connect to it unless you are using a wifi or gprs and pulling the data from the access database on the desktop and sending it to the device via a webservice.

Cheers for the reply mate.
Hummm ok now im really stuck, have no idea where to begin , me thinks i have a problem :sick:
Re: Data Menu in toobox ?
if you write a web service you can get it to extract whatever tables you want from the access database and add then to a dataset.
Webservices can pass datasets back and forth so if you include a web reference in your mobile application you can call a method on the webservice to retrieve the database tables and pass them to the mobile application.
now you can store these on the device's sql server database
Re: Data Menu in toobox ?
you can still use access databases but you need to use a third party component that acts as a wrapper for adoce in .net because microsoft does not support it. It is called adoce in the hand and you can get it from In the hand
