>The SQL Server appears to be pretty complete (there were references to Replication). What is missing from VB? For example, does the Win CE VB support 3rd party Active X controls such as grids? Just as there are questions of 3rd party Active X controls being tested with VFP, I would assume that there similar questions about Win CE VB.

SQL Server CE is pretty complete in a way. It does have Replication and also RDS
eVB and eVC come with standard ActiveX like Tab, Menu, Grid, Listbox and Treeview


>The VFP forum of UT is clearly the correct place to start this discussion, but there are probably better places once I get into the subject. Any thoughts?

Best places are in NNTP:
