Thanks Renee for that suggestion, I do appreciate your input but unfortunatly she already has both the CD and the USB, so its definatly a clanger on my part.
Thank you everyone for all your replies, it is as I thought unfortunatly in that they could alter everything, soooooo disapointed as I know the cousin I have given it to will do just that!
Thanks for the reply Renee, all is well now, I have put the database on several CDs now and its fine, and I've also managed to get it onto a couple of flash drives too, not bad going for me!!! LOL
Ahhh, I see, well I think I do, not too good on the old puter, but I'll give it a go, will that also have any media attached to it? May have to come back and ask something if I get stuck. thank you Renee
