Hi, i have a rather bizarre problem that hopefully someone can help me with.

Im syncing an sqlce database with sql express database. Now, it works perfectly when syncing with a windows XP desktop running sql express 2005. My problem occurs when i try and sync with a desktop running vista and sql express 2008. Here is whats happening,

  • Connect PDA to Vista via USB (using Mobile Device Center)
  • Launch my application, click sync, cant establish an sql connection
  • Re-copy the .exe and .sdf to the pda
  • Launch my application, click sync, sql connection established
  • Disconnect PDA from Vista
  • Reconnect PDA to Vista (without re-copying .exe and .sdf), click sync, cant establish an sql connection

Basically, my application only seems to sync if i copy the .exe and .sdf to the PDA once its connected to the desktop.


Any Ideas?
