Depends, I'm afraid. Assuming the device is cradled and connected to the PC, the first thing you need to do if try to access the file from Windows explorer. If you get there, then the address bar will give you a path which should work. If it doesn't then you could try this: http://msmvps.com/blogs/nunoluz/archive/2008/08/15/access-you-windows-mobile-file-system-from-your-pc.aspx[^] - I haven't installed it myself, but it could work.

I can access it from the explorer,but the connection string to catch the database throws an error.

How are you using the connection string - show the code fragment, including the actual string.
