Distributing Database Copies

[Robbin]

What's happening? I want to share my newly designed database with family and
friends so I've made copies of the database and all the accompanying pictures
and html pages on CD. But when others copy the database on to their own
computers and open it, graphics are all moved around, pictures that should be
"sent to back" are
in front, margins on the html pages are all caflooey, windows are too large
for the screen, etc. Was there something I should have done before
finalizing it on CD besides compacting and debugging? I've never shared a
database this way before. But since this is a recipe and cooking database,
I'm wanting to pass it around!

The HTML stuff will be largely influenced by the browser they are using and
its settings. The size of the forms by the screen resolution and font-size
settings they are using. I can't think of any reason for the Z-Order of
objects to change from one machine to another though.
