 Hi,
ActiveSync 4.x with Windows Mobile 5.0 does not support the ability for
users to sync Access files to PDB format. Why? Well PDB format was
announced as end of life to developers when Windows Mobile 2003 SE shipped.
At this time there are no plans to support it again.

Thank you for your answer, but I need to resolve it.
I was able to develop something that copy pdb files from desktop to device.
Now I should find the way to convert DBF tables into pdb files.

Is anyone able to give me any suggest?

I think you are getting a little off track here. You have mentioned a lot of
things like Access (.mdb), pdb (a palm format) in an effort to explain what
you are needing.

Lets see if I understand what you want. You have a desktop app in Delphi
that uses dbf files. I assume these are database files (I think dbase when I
see dbf). What you want is a way to move the data in those files onto a PPC
and read them. Is that right?

I resolved all with PDBLibrary.dll: I'm able to use it from VB6 and I call
this software from my Delphi application.
I use this library to directly popolate my PDB Files.

Thanks to all!

Hi,
I suggest that you develop another way to sync your database to the device.
Otherwise at some point in the future VB and PDB files will no longer work.
They are not supported with Windows Mobile 5.0 so this is not guaranteed to
work.
