Why not avoid presenting the database to them at all. Place your application (or, preferably, a shortcut to your application) in the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\YOUR FOLDER" folder. Put the database and any other associated program files in the "C:\Program Files\YOUR FOLDER NAME" folder. Of course things gets more complicated if you only want to install for the current user. This creates a folder in the Start button > All Programs tree that contains nothing (preferably) but shortcuts rather than important application items. This is how it's usually done on Windows. The best way would be to use an installer. There are a few free ones out there, but I think you'd need a Windows machine to create the installer that you plan to distribute. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
