autoplay database

[Brother C]

Hi There

Just want to know if it is possible to copy my database to
a cd and when you insert the cd in a customers drive the
database open automatically, without having to double
click on the database icon.

Please show me how?

Thank you
Craig

You will need to use autorun.inf as follows;
[AutoRun]
ICON=my_icon.ico
OPEN=my_db.mdb

NOTE: this is not a "full-proof" solution, as some systems will not
automatically start ms-access even if they have an association of mdb files
to ms-access. Also, using;
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" my_db.mdb
is not good either, as not everyone has access installed in that location...
