To use an Access database in the eVB Pocket
PC emulator you need to convert the database into cdb format.
Here are the
necessary programs for converting the MDB file into CDB file
format so that you can run your ADO Database program in the emulator.
In addition you can also download
the following eVB code to test for the database in the emulation
environment.
Installation
To install the programs simply follow these
steps:
1. Copy the extracted 'MDBtoTDB.exe'
program to any folder on your hard drive.
2. Copy the 'TDBtoCDB.vb' program
'C:\Windows CE Tools\ WCE300 \ 2MS Pocket PC\Emulation\Palm300\Windows\Start
Menu' on your hard drive.
Using the Program
To use the program,
follow these steps:
1. Run the MDBtoTDB.exe program
2. Click 'Select DB' button and select
your MDB file
3. Click 'Convert DB' button
4. Then click the 'Copy to Emulator'
button
5. Now, you already have an equivalent
text file of your database in the Emulation folder. You may now
close the MDBtoTDB program.
6. To convert the text file to CDB,
open your PocketPC Emulator (just the Emulator) then select
TDBtoCDB from the Start Menu.
