Hi there,

You are using Sql CE on Pocket PC 2003 and would like to tranfer that data
collected to another client computer.

I would check into using Merge Replication with MSDE. You will find some
information in the .NET Compaq Framework FAQ
http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/prodtechinfo/devtools/netcf/faq/default.aspx#9.0
and another interesting article I just found (but have not read) is "How to
Develop an Efficient Architecture based on SQL Server CE Replication
Requirements"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/eff_arch_sql_servr_ce_rep.asp
