So I don't know if that is the source of your problem. Usually the reason
you can't add a reference is that you are targeting the wrong platform. For
example, you are building a desktop app here, right?

It sounds like you don't have the desktop components for SQLce installed
for
some reason. I'd try installing SQL Compact
3.1:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=85e0c3ce-3fa...

Note that if your sdf file is SQLce 2.0 and not 3 (you didn't say), that
you
won't be able to access it on the desktop other than by using a 3rd party
product. Which version of the Compact Framework does your app use?

I already have SQL Compact 3.1 installed so I assume I have a version
3 sdf. How do I tell for sure? Just to be sure that I had the SQL 3.1
compact installed, I downloaded and installed it again from the link
you gave. It asked if I wanted to remove or repair, so I clicked
repair and it did. Next I went back into my app code and there is
still no reference available.

This is driving me crazy.

Yes I am developing a desktop ap. You are correct. And let me clarify.
I have VS Studio 2005 SP1 installed and am writing my app in VB.Net. I
should have been more clear. Sorry for that.
