[AccessD] SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition

Hi William

Which frontend would you use for that, and how would it connect to the SQL Server 2005 CE?

...as I see it, the major hang-up with SQL Server Express is the size of the 
installation and that it runs as a service which complicates user 
installation and maintenance ...SQL Server Compact is "compact" and installs 
as a couple of DLLs ...its upward data compatibility makes it ideal for some 
tradeshow floor and scanner apps that I currently do with third party tools 
...now I can move them to my own design/code and the data will move between 
them with a lot less problems.
