I also tried to copy (by dragging and dropping from within Windows Explorer) the Sudoku.vb file to both the Program Files section of my PDA and to the CF card, but it doesn't show up as being in either place. Is there a way I can use Active Sync to copy the file to the PDA? Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the incorrect info about MS eVB. I use PPC 2002, so the eVB runtime was already on my PPC. If you have PPC 2002, chances are the eVB runtime is already on yours as well.
I just went to the MS website and downloaded the VB Runtime to see what it looked like. It is a .CAB file called msvbppc.armv4.cab
I downloaded it from here:

To install a .CAB file, you typically just use ActiveSync's File Explorer to copy the .CAB file to your PPC. You can put the .CAB file anywhere. I usually just put it into my /TEMP folder. Then you can use any type of File Explorer on your PPC to tap on the .CAB file (which now resides on your PPC) to execute it, and it will then automatically install itself from the /TEMP (or whatever) folder to the correct locations on your PPC.
A .CAB file (short for cabinet) is a self-installing program which installs an application directly from your PPC.
To use ActiveSync's File Explorer, just click on the EXPLORE button on your ActiveSync desktop window. It will then bring up a File Explorer window.
The Soduko104.vb file just needs to be copied directly from your Desktop PC to your PPC. Personally, I created a new folder on my storage card called /Soduko Solver and copied the .vb file into that folder. You can use ActiveSync's File Explorer to copy from your PC to your PPC.
Next, you may want to create a shortcut to the .vb file, and place your shortcut in your /Windows/Start Menu/Games folder. You can use your PPC's File Explorer to create the shortcut.
Good luck! :)
