Windows Mobile 5 questions.

Hey, i'm researching doing programming for windows mobile 5..but have a few questions.

1) Can you connect to mysql from a mobile 5 smartphone on a server somewhere.
2) Are there any free database solutions for a smartphone.
3) Say I had 3 textboxes and a command button, could I have that button make Excel pop up, and populate it with the text in the boxes? (i.e. office interaction)
4) Can you write to a text file?

Hi,
1) There are 3rd party solutions (including 1 from our company) and one here. SqlServer access is the only 'built-in' access.
2) SqlServer Compact Edition from Microsoft is free
3) Excel on the PPC - no. the office apps on the device don't expose a programming model.
4) Yest
