Phil,

  I forgot to mention that when the database is to be run from CD, it needs to be marked as read-only with gfix.

 

  I used gfix –user sysdba –password masterkey –mode read_only employee.fb

Phil,

  Since it is Friday, I’ve built a little demo of the embedded server for you here:

 

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trevorj/TEST.zip

 

You can unzip this & burn the contents of the TEST folder to a CD, which should give you a fully self contained embedded database and app which should run on any Windows PC with a CD drive.

 

Source is there too.

 

While you need to provide a username & password to the database when connecting, they can be ANYTHING (the security database is not checked ‘coz it doesn’t exist) but the username is still used in validating permissions on the database itself.

 

Trevor
