cdrom

[Alpha Thiam]

Hi,
I wrote a program that's reading data from an access
database. It works fine on my hard drive and on the
network, but will not work from a cdrom.
I'm thinking that a program running from a cdrom cannot
read a database on that cdrom.
Is this true? If not what do I need to do to be able to run
my program from the cdrom?

Thank you,
Alpha

Once the files are on CD they're read only. Copy them to your hard drive
and once there clear the read-only attribute.

I can get this to work but when I open the database on CD,
I get a messagebox: "The database 'database-name' is ready-
only. You won't be able to save changes made to data or
object definitions in this database." Is there any way to
keep this message from happening?

Thanks,
Cheryl (no, not the other Cheryl who posted--a completely
different Cheryl)
