CE_FILE=path\ce-db

DBF connection parameter.

You should use the CE_FILE connection parameter for UltraLite client applications that use the same connection string to connect to a Microsoft Windows Mobile device, and other platforms.

The CE_FILE connection parameter takes precedence over the DBF connection parameter. If you are connecting from an UltraLite administration tool, or your connection object only connects to a Windows Mobile database, use the DBF connection parameter.

The value of CE_FILE must meet the file name requirements for Windows Mobile. If you include an absolute path to the database, then all directories must exist before setting the path to this file. UltraLite does not create them automatically.

Any leading or trailing spaces in parameter values are ignored. This connection parameter's value cannot include leading single quotes, leading double quotes, or semicolons.

• Opening UltraLite connections with connection strings
• Specifying file paths in an UltraLite connection parameter
• Precedence of connection parameters for UltraLite administration tools
• UltraLite DBF connection parameter
• UltraLite for C/C++: Connecting to a database
• UltraLite for C/C++: OpenConnection method
• UltraLite for embedded SQL: Connecting to a database
• UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere: Connecting to an UltraLite database
• UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere: openConnection method
• UltraLite.NET: Connecting to a database
• UltraLite.NET: Open method

The following example creates a new connection and identifies different database files for the Windows desktop and Windows Mobile platforms:

Set Connection = DatabaseMgr.OpenConnection("DBF=d:\Dbfile.udb;CE_FILE=\myapp\MyDB.udb")
