I know very little about SQL Server CE and RDA but it seems the alternative
out-of-the-box solution is merge replication. However, SQL Express can only
be a subscriber so you would then need then need SQL Server Workgroup
Edition instead, which doesn't run on XP Home Edition either. If Windows XP
Pro (or Windows Vista Business/Ultimate) is not an option, I think you'll
need to develop your own merge/sync solution.
