I have an application that right now works with palm handhelds. Basically the palm synchronizes with several "temporary" access databases, and then the windows application connects to those databases and pulls the information into the main database. I need to redesign this using Windows CE handhelds. I have a couple of questions:
1. It looks like Windows CE handhelds can't synchronize with access databases. Is that true? What options do I have in terms of synchronizing with local files? SQL Server isn't really an option because it isn't easily deployable.
2. Can the program on the handheld access the C:\ drive of the computer it's synchronizing with?
3. Can a program in Windows access a database that is stored on the handheld?
I tried downloading a bunch of samples from microsoft but nothing seems to apply to what I need to do. If someone can point me to a sample that would help or just sort of describe what process I should be looking into that would be great. Thanks!
