Add sdf file to my project when my sources are on remote server

I have an application that runs on a PDA and manage a database (.sdf) file I use C# with visual studio 5.0.

What I want to do is to add the database file (.sdf) to my project files and open a connection to it.

The problem is that all my source file are stored on remote machine and not locally on my machine and the .sdf file is also stored with the project source files.

When I try to add the file to the project I get the following error fro the data source configuration wizard :

"An error occured while retrieving the information from the database"

DRIVE_REMOTE

Parameter Name : N:\

I get the same error also when I try to open a new connection to the file from the server explorer. When i copy the file to drive "C" I can open a connection to it with no errors.

Hello,

Remotely opening an sdf file (SSC database) is not supported. From desktop to device (DB on a device) access is possible, but, I don't think the other way is.

Thanks

Udaya.
