Creating a 3.1 SDF from MDB

I am trying to populate a new SDF database to be deployed with my CF application, and am totally bummed to find out I have to manually code my own custom app just to import the data from the existing desktop DB with ado.net code.

I don't want to write code so that I can write code!

Custom apps to support the development of custom apps!

I wrote a commercial application for this (you can try it for free for 30 days, though). You can download it from my company's website (look for Data Port Wizard).|||

I did try this app, (I was really lazy and desperately trying not to have to write any code :), but it kept saying it wasn't able to open the file. I did check "local", because the SDF was on my PC, not the PDA. I finally came to the conclusion that it did not support SQL Server CE 3.x, because 2.x was the only one referenced.

So I gave up and wrote a really quick and dirty app to transfer the data over. However, I've got to do a lot more transferring to do, and rather than modifying my data xfer app, I'd rather use your utility if I can get it to work.
