If I had a web site written in ASP making use of ODBC and the like, is there a way I could package it on a CD to be installed on a client machine and run from their hard disk without any net access? And how would I do so?

You would have to include on the CD an ASP-enabled web server as well as the database management software (actually you could avoid this if you used ADO instead of ODBC in your ASP code). One free ASP-enabled webserver you might have been able to use was vWebServer, but it doesn't appear that the homepage (www.vwebserver.com) is available any more. Perhaps you can find another one for free, or maybe you can get a license to distribute Personal Web Server from Microsoft (unfortunately that would probably require an install). A custom-made server is probably your best bet.

Good luck.

Well, doesn't really help, but nobody else seems to be willing to try so I gave you the points anyway.
