Pocket PC 2003 Emulator Problem

I am trying to develop a pocket pc application that will use SQL server ce and i am developing in vs.net 2003. I don't have a PDA that i can connect so i naturally need to use an emulator and am using the pocket pc 2003(from the SDK) and i start it up from vs.net and from what i have read i need to be able to connect the emulator using activesync. So what i have tried is connecting my to com ports together and use activesync and the emulator to connect but that is not working and i need quite urgent help.

I have also tried to use embedded visual tools to set it up and get it connected. I hope it is nothing stupid that i am doing but please i am ready to drop kick my computer out the door.

The way this whole thing is documented sucks. The Developer boys at MS need to get their act together. Articles are poorly linked and only a handful of people have managed to make this work.

Here it is (well ActiveSync over the network anyway): If using VS .NET 2003, use these tools:

and follow the instructions.

If using eMbedded Visual C++ you will need a null serial cable and need to connect your two serials ports.

If not, you will need to run emuascfg /PPC from the command line (search for the file). This sets up your emulator image to synch over the network.
