Access mdb on a CD?

[tmcnutt]

I want to have a read only copy of an Access database on a CD that my VB.Net program can access. It works fine on my machine, but when I try to run it with the database on a CD, I get the error message that it can't lock the file. I assume that it is trying to create the .ldb locking file. Is there a way to open the database as read only and prevent the application from trying to create a locking file? Is there a locking mode setting that I can use in the connectionstring property?

Thanks,
Tom
