    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?

    Code:
    If LostAngel.Tag = "Programming" then
       LostAngel.Caption = "Awake"
    Else
       LostAngel.Caption = "Dreaming of Code"
    End If

    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
