i guess SQL CE is the best database for winCe. It was built for winCE.

Anyways, last question, is it possible to access Access database in WinCE?

Probably the easiest way to connect to a remote Access database would be to create something such as a web service operating on the machine with the database on it, and create the connection locally between your web service and the database. Then you simply need to connect your pocketpc to the web service programatically.

Otherwise, I'm not sure how you are planning on creating a connection from your WinCE to Access, unless you want to create a socket to the machine hosting the DB and then create a connection from there? That would be a lot of programming...

Would a web service solution be possible in what you are trying to do?
