I need to synchronize my Touch Cruise with Microsoft Access on my desktop (Windows XP) but who develops database (SprintDB, f.e.) writes me:
"there is no way to synchronize database files on Windows Mobile 6 because Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 does not support database sync"
In fact i can not to find anymore Pocket Access
There is some experienced that can help me to resolve this problem?

If you have room on your device, you can set the database to sync under "Tools/Settings/Options" by placing the database in the "Files" folder to be sync'ed. I often do this for Excel files that I need to keep a current copy on my phone. (I have XP Pro and ActiveSync 4.5.)
Good luck!

I just try it but WM6 do not know the extension ".mdb" (Micoroft Access) and the file is invisible by device (maybe must to have extension .cdb)!
Moreover i nedd to sybcronized it because the tables change day by day (hour by hour !)
I've just checked the sprintdb site, and a new version has been released, 4.0.
According to them there is a new conversion database utility. The screenshot shows the conversion from mdb to cdb, but I don't know if it is possible the contrary (just browsed it) and also synchronisation.
