Run an Access app from a CD

J

I would like to put my app on a CD to show a demo to my client.

My app uses linked tables. How can I get the hardwired C:\ drive
designation to read as whatever drive the CD is in?

If I need to write data, can I direct it the the C:\ drive?

It's highly NOT recommended that you even try to run an ACCESS file from a
CD -- one, it'll be read-only, and two, data interactions will be
potentially interesting.

Copy the file to the computer on which you're running the demo, and run the
demo from that computer.

If you've hard-coded the location of the backend file in your application,
you'll need to duplicate that folder setup on the computer so that you can
have the frontend find the backend correctly
