Can someone please explain the steps to make an EDB v2 database work on
a CD/DVD disc (read only)?

I tried to simulate this on the hard drive and I cannot get it to work.
If I take my working app and change the attributes of all the files in
the database folder to "Read Only" - I get the below error message.

"ElevateDB Error #700 An error was found in the statement at line 1 and
column 15 (ElevateDB Error #401 The table or view tblMain does not
exist)"

Changing it back...it works fine. If you're wondering...I do not have
an ALTER statement that would need to read/write access to modify the
path of the database catalog - only the SELECT statement which works in
read/write mode...but not in Read Only mode.

Also on this note...anything special I would need to do with the
ConfigFiles as well?  I have not tried to do a Read Only on those just
yet...just trying right now to successfully open the database files as
Read Only.

Many Thanks for any help!
Fred

There's an issue with the catalog file being read-only.  I'll make sure a
fix is in the next build.
