Thanks very much. It worked, although the menus I have made with DHTML Menu
Builder don't work anymore (it looks like they disappeared). If you have any
tip, I would appreciate it.

Thanks again

JC,

Try Publishing to a folder on your Hard Drive and then burn it to a CD..

Publish to a Disk-Based Web and Copy to CD You can use the Publish command
to create a disk-based copy of a Web, and then use a CD recording program to
copy the disk-based version to the CD. To do this, follow these steps:
Start FrontPage, and then open your Web. On the File menu, click Publish
Web.
In the Publish Destination dialog box, do one of the following: Type the
path to a folder on your hard disk (for example, drive letter:\My
Website). -or- Click Browse to locate a folder.
NOTE: If you previously chose a publish destination for this Web site, the
Publish Destination dialog box does not appear.
Proceed to step 5. Click OK. Specify the pages that you want to publish. To
do this, follow these steps: In the Publish Web dialog box, click Options in
the lower-left corner. Click the Publish tab, and then do one or more of the
following:
Under Publish, specify whether you want to publish only pages that have
changed or all pages.
Under Changes, specify how you want FrontPage to determine which pages have
been changed. If you want to create a log file for changes that are made
during publishing, select that check box.
Click OK. To publish subwebs, click to select the Include subwebs check box.
Click Publish.
NOTE: If you cancel publishing in the middle of the operation, files that
have already been published remain on the destination folder.
Start your CD recording program, and then copy the Web to a recordable CD.
You may also be able to use Windows Explorer to copy the Web to a recordable
CD, depending on the software that you are using. See the documentation that
came with your CD recording software for more information about how to
perform these steps.

I just did a 162 page CD Web/Catalog and this worked great!! Even the DHTML
Menu

You can then make an Autorun so it will start when inserted in the CD
Drive..

Well..........

Is index.htm in the root???
Or in a folder?
If the file is in a folder you need to supply the path.
Like
[autorun]
open=Folder_Name/index.htm
icon=qm.ico

Just a thought...
