It does not exist, you will have to use Handbase (www.ddhsoftware.com)
or similar. These programs can use access databases on PC.

Not quite true.

Activesynch will convert a Access MDB file into a PocketAccess file CDB
it's just that only the HPCs like the Jornada 680/690/720 has the M$
PocketAccess provided with the WinCE device.

For PPCs, third party applications like SprintProDB can use the CDB
natively on the PPC. HanDBase (my choice BTW) actually converts the
Access MDB file into its own proprietary format (PDB).

That's what Dave was trying to say. He did not say that the files cannot be
handled, but that there isn't a Pocket Access Application on Pocket PC.

He suggested Handbase, you suggested SprintProDB.

I strongly recommend Visual CE from www.syware.com

Actually I suggested HanDBase as well. :-)

VisualCE is too expensive IMHO
