SQL Server Ce Question

[glenn]

I am trying to get a test app written that works with the Ce version of SQL
Server. However, I'm getting errors when I try to run the app. I'm using
source from Microsoft examples. Wondering if this is something i have to
purchase for the PDA or is there an SDK or something I have to get to run
it?

What exactly has to be installed on the PDA to access the tables and
functions as the documentation I've found so far does not list anything
specific other than the main SDK that I've already installed.

Thanks,

glenn

Can you give more details on the errors encountered?

To run an app using SQL Ce you'll need to install the Sql Ce engine as well
as the .NET Compact Framework itself. If you are deploying through the
debugger this should be deployed for you automatically. If not you'll find
the CAB files buried within your Visual Studio folders e.g.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows
CE\wce300\armv4\sqlce.wce4.armv4.CAB
Is the Sql Ce engine for Pocket PC 2003 devices.
