Why do my CEDB databases no longer work after migrating to Windows Mobile 2003?

The internal format of databases changed in the Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PC and Smartphone. This change causes some third-party applications to hang or display an error message when they attempt to access data. Applications that install databases from files, along with the program itself, are affected. If you have or use an application that uses CEDB and that worked on Pocket PC or Smartphone 2002 and does not work correctly on Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PC or Smartphone, there is a wizard to assist with migrating databases. This tool is also useful for users that have entered data into applications on a previous release of Pocket PC or Smartphone, are upgrading to the 2003 release, and want to migrate their data.
