Hi,

I produced a Director project. Originally it was a collection of =
thousands of images distributed on 10 CD-ROMs. The Software had to be =
installed on the user's hard disk, because during the use of the =
software the user had to change the CD-ROM in the drive in order to make =
the different images accessible by the software.=20
The images data is stored in a Valentina database.
Now we are shifting this project onto one single DVD-R. Because all =
images are now on one medium, there is no need to change it anymore. =
Therefore the software could possibly stay on the DVD-R without =
installation on the hard disk. My question is: what happens with the =
Valentina functionality? Because if the database files are accessed on =
the DVD-R they are read only of course. The data itself is not =
modifyable by the user, but he can perform sql queries which might need =
the index to be rebuild or extended. Will this be possible when even the =
index file is read only? Or do I have to build an index for every field =
that's needed and burn this full index onto the DVD?

Ruslan, your help would be very appreciated.

Regards,

Christian Kirchhoff
