I developed an application in access 2003 and I made a package with developer
extensions.
Now I would like to make an auto run file to put in a CD. How can I do it?
There is any program where can I do? I don't have idea.

Thanks a lot
Jose
 
It's just a text file, you don't need any special program to create it. Just
use Notepad or your preferred text editor to create a file called
AUTORUN.INF containing the following text ...

[AUTORUN]
OPEN=setup.exe

If you use Notepad, when saving be sure to select 'All Files' in the 'Save
as type' list, otherwise Notepad will append a '.txt' extension even though
you've already entered 'AUTORUN.INF', including extension, in the File name
box, and you'll end up with a file named 'AUTORUN.INF.TXT' - I learned that
one the hard way! :-(
 
ah, it's easier,
Thanks a lot Brendan
