There is no Microsoft supported Access support in windows mobile, there are some 3rd party utilities. You can use SQL server for mobile devices which will work with an SQL dump generated by Access on the desktop maybe.

Why was this moved?! Surely it's a windows mobile question more than an access question??

I assume that the user has an existing MS Access Database and wants to develop a mobile applicaion? His/her best bet is to use SQL Server Compact edition, which you can run on both a PC and a PDA and is free. These two are easily synchronised, or if you really want you can just pull off the .sdf file and manipulate it on the server.

EDIT - Just followed that link to the access sync app..... hehe, that sure shut me up, I had no idea that existed! Great link! Bookmarked!

Your best bet is to read the xml file into a dataset, then there are a lot of controls and functions within the .net compact framework and sql server CE to handle this

I moved it because it's both, plus there are more access experts then mobile experts so more people may be able to help.
