to just generate an sdf you can try one of these:
http://darn-weight.8bit.co.uk/eVB/ (eVB project to convert cdb to sdf)
http://www.emfakt.com/en/teknologi/d.../database.html
http://www.innovativedss.com/sqlink.asp

i ended up whipping together a vb6 (although presumably you could use .net)
desktop app to convert an mdb to a list of sql commands. I would then
transfer the txt file down and the .net cf app would read in the txt file
and execute all the sql commands to create the database. Not the most
efficient but it was easy and quick
