Synchronize a MS Access DB with pocket PC???

I recently purchased a Compaq iPaq 3970 Pocket PC. It comes bundled with pocket Word, Excel, and Outlook. However, I do not have pocket Access, if there is such a thing. I have searched the Internet for a couple of hours and can find nothing of MS Access for pocket PC. I know that it is possible to synchronize an Access DB with pocket pc, but I do not know how. The Active sync program that came with my iPAQ has a tool that converts .mdb file to a .cdb file. Do I have to have another program on the pocket pc to read this file? If so, will it work correctly with Access?

Thanks for the help!!!

I dont know but I have wondered the same question many times over. I also have an iPaq and have tried things such as copying the access db into the pocketpc mydocs folder. I noticed that activesync even brings it over as a "pocket access" item, however the file is not in the folder on my iPaq and I have no idea how to use it.
