Thanks for the help.
I think some of your tips will help.
I am aware of how to create webpages, autorun cd's, etc..
I probably needed to be more clear... I have cases that I manage (names,
addresses, dates, file numbers, notes, pictures, etc..). I track all this in
my DB. What I want to do is take one case with all the info from above and
create an autorun cd. I just figured html (maybe using merge) would be the
easiest thing to use. I was thinking of usinghtml frames where the user
would click on a link (on the main page) and it would show the relevant
information. I'm sure there is a way to save/export a report (from a query)
to html. However, if there was a template of sorts it would make it much
easier when making say 10 CD's for 10 different cases (rather than putting
each case/CD together seperately).

>Hi Orv,
I am probably going to get all sorts of flaming for even suggesting
this, but I believe that Frontpage has the ability to produce a CD
'from' a website design that you have. All you would then
theoretically have to do is change the MDB file to the new one each
time you want to send out an update...
Frontpage creates websites that are either static HTML or dynamic HTML
using server side ASP vbscript.
The static HTML well, that's already discussed above, and the server
side dynamic HTML well, you can't run that from a CD - you need:
IIS webserver + ADO and Jet engine installed and running on the target
machine.
If you want to run dynamic serverside HTML, you'll need to put on the
CD, a webserver that supports ASP scripting and has ADO and Jet -
there is one free webserver that does that DWebPro but that's quite a
bit more engine you're shipping than just static HTML.
