A database can be opened read-only, only i'm not sure if on the CD u got to have the .ldb file before.
Look in help under OpenDatabase Method (DAO Reference).
Cut from the help:

Set database = workspace.OpenDatabase (dbname, options, read-only, connect)

read-only Optional. A Variant (Boolean subtype) value that is True if you want to open the database with read-only access, or False (default) if you want to open the database with read/write access.

Recommended is also that u open the db exclusively.

Hope this helps!
