I propose to write a program that will
be distributed to many clients across the world. I wish to include database information on the CD but I do not want the customer to have to install the CD, but simply put the CD into the computer and it will autorun. Is it possible to make a executable VB application with database information that does not require the client to install the CD ?

2 Options I see are:
1.
Create your own database file, i.e. a file with a user-defined structure. You can then read from this file with out any dependencies.
2.
Move a copy of an Access database for example to a temporary place on the users hard drive and then query the database from there. However, it the user doesn't have certain dll that allow communication with this database this still will not work. You will then need to install some files. You could however install these files without the user knowing - as long as the user's computer isn't using a NTSF file system.
