Visual Studio - SQL Compact - Vista

I am redevoping an application originally written in Visual Studio 6, Accessdb ; and Embedded ce.



I am now using Visual Studio 2005 (with the Windows Mobile extensions); SQL Compact. This is on a Vista machine. I am new to this environment.



I have the Visual Studio and the SQL Compact installed and have written some very basic programs. It is progressing, but I am stuck on a few issues:



-- What tool should I be using to manage the SQL Compact DB; I have seen conflicting notes on the net. At this point in time I can use the SQL Query and wizard within Studio 2005, but would like to know if there is front end for SQL Compact.



-- I am struggling with the interface to SQL Compact from within VS 2005. Specifically, if I try to run a "CREAT TABLE ...." command from code it appears to complete, but the table is not created. If I run same "CREATE TABLE " from the query pane available within VS 2005, a warning message comes up along the lines of "CREATE TABLE ... not suported" / "Cannot display this query graphically <or somthing along these line -- don't have the dev environment in front of me write now>" with the warning window having a heading of "...SQL Diffs...". Once I click through this warning, the table is created.



-- Once I get past this initial learning curve, I will be getting data from an SQL server into SQL Compact and then onto a windows mobile PDA. Ideally I would like to dump Schema and data from SQL Server in a form that SQL Compact db (via VB program) be able to import. Any pointers?



Thanks in advance.
