[AccessD] Convert Access App to VB.Net (was FYI: Good news-VBAin Office 12 and beyond...)

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!
