Accessing database from Windows CE 5.0
I have an application which is installed on a couple of PC's. This application is connected to an MS-Access database located in a folder on a networkdrive.
However, we are looking at expanding this system with a couple of handheld computers, with built-in barcodereaders. These handhelds are WLAN-enabled WindowsCE5.0 devices.
My question is as follows, is it possible through a VB.NET application, for the handheld, to connect directly to the MS-Access database on the network drive over the WLAN?
As I've understood, atleast for previous versions of WinCE (4.1), a local copy of the database had to be made and then synchronized with the "real" database at certain times to keep the data up-to-date everywhere.
Any comments on this??
Regards,
Michael
