running database from a cd

V

Vanessa

a teacher wants to create a cd with access databases on
it and give to students to use to do certain things and
then turn the cd back in for grading.

she wants the students to be able to open the database
from the cd and work from the cd. She does not want the
students to have to copy the database to a hard drive and
then back to the cd...is this possible?

thanks in advance!

:)

Hi Vanessa,

I'm no expert, but ...

1.) The database would be read-only ... so how could the students do
anything on it which could be returned for grading?
2.) If they did copy the database to hard-drive, removed the read-only
attribute, and worked on it ... how would they copy it back to the CD? Do
they all have CD Writers?
