So they are forcing you to go with SQL CE? Are there any other options for Db's on PPC's?

I program for the compact framework of VB.Net. With CF2.0 and VS 2005 now out the glorious braintrust at Micro$oft has did not include support for .cdb files (.mdb's little cousin) for Windows Mobile 5.0 . Even if you attempt to use tools such has the InTheHand adoce there is no ActiveSync support for the database conversion. They say they will come up with a patch but it will not be supported and that future versions of the Mobile OS may never offer any support again. In professional terms...THIS SUCKS UP THE WAZOO!
