Hi!

I would like to send a mde file in a CD and this CD to have one Aautorun to
run this mde.
As I will be able to make this, please?

Thanks in advance.

This is possible, but the CDs will only work on computers that already
have Access installed.

You need to include a little .exe or .com program that launches the .mde
file, and put an entry in the CD's Autorun.inf file to call this
"launcher" program.

For more, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com and search for the article
"Creating an AutoRun-enabled CD-ROM Application", in particular the
section "Tips for Writing AutoRun Startup Applications".

Unless you're a confident programmer, the simplest way is to use a
third-party launcher program, such as the one at
http://www.autorun.co.uk. A web search will find others.
 
JN,

Thank you for your help.
