Zipped archive db

[Janis Rough]

I want to demo a database to a client tomorrow. I saved the db by right
clicking it and creating an archive previously. What I want to know is on
most PC's if I bring it on a flash drive will the zipped file automatically
open once it is clicked on my clients machine or do I have to get a program
to unstuff it?
Sorry I'm PC challenged. Thanks,

The client will need to have the same or a more recent version of Access
installed in order for the database to run, of course. Most newer Windows
machines have a builtin Zip file utility (as part of WindowsXP for example).
