Dude, no way dude!? Like, that was my whole point. The CF is formatted for
FAT and I want my Access DB right on the card without any conversions,
cables or syncing.

Just get a Visor & a MP3 Springboard.
Think beyond... Why would you put a MP3 player on a corporate device, its
kinda like putting a calendar/address book on a GameBoy and expecting kids
to play Mario Bros. and not miss their dentist appointment. The Visor will
have a bigger market for combinations like that. Think about using WAV
files to enhance your enterprise application. Slap on your DAQ module and
make your TRGPro yell out when your readings go critical. (while saving your
data directly to a PC formatted DB - no conduit needed).
