Thanks for the suggestions. I don't think what I tried is much worth pursuing, so didn't give details.

I usually have good success with Super Search or Google, but failed to find anything to get me going this time. Maybe I'm just having a bad search day.

I am familiar with accessing SQL Server via DBI and Win32::OLE, but there is no "server" in SQL Server Compact Edition (not that I know about, at least - but maybe that's just my ignorance - I know very little about SQL Server Compact Edition). The connections I make to SQL Server all include specification of the server, and I don't know how they might apply to a SQL CE data file - I suspect they don't but, again, that may just be my ignorance misleading me.

I thought/hoped someone might be able to point me to a working example to get me started in the right direction. If not, I'll certainly look further at Win32::OLE and DBD::ADO, with updates here if/when I get something working.
