I thought I might have the answer when I saw this in the emulator's Help file:

The following hardware and drivers are not supported in the Emulator:

Universal serial bus (USB) devices

PC Card devices

Storage devices, which include compact flash (CF) cards and hard disks

File system drivers, which include file allocation table (FAT), compact disc (CD), and digital video disc (DVD) drivers

IEEE 1394 devices

But when I had a couple of programmers at our corporate headquarters try on both a Windows CE and Pocket PC emulator, it worked for them.

What am I missing?

If I use one of the sample code pieces from the VB .NET Resource Kit ("How To Write An Offline Application") that runs under the full .NET Framework, it works great, but when I move down into the Compact Framework, it won't write.
