Guido,

Interesting... I'm trying to remember if it was IB support read-only
databases or IB can be run from a CD?

Also, did you remember to change the Windows Registry settings to point
to the new drive/path?

Finally, did you run GFix to tag the ISC4.GDB and your database(s) as
read-only? (It's not enough to copy the databases to a read-only media)

Which version of IB do you use? With IB6 you can run a database in
readonly-mode.
