Can ADO/OLE DB Run from a CD?

Hugh Smith · January 18th, 2005, 02:01 PM

Does anyone know if it is possible (or not) to run a VB6 application using ADO/OLE DB from read-only media (e.g. a CD-R)? Assuming the target database is in an accessible read/write location. The database format would be ACCESS 2000 using JET 4.0

Thanks in advance,
Hugh Smith

Hi,

* well the files to which the program writes to must be read/write accessible.

* as far as your vb6 program is concerned, the executable may run directly from the CD depending on the fact that how much your program depends on external COM interfaces. If they are already installed on the target system along with VB Runtime Environment then you may expect your program to execute ppropery
