You'll have to provide far more details.

Where doesn't it "show up"?

BTW, the question is supposed to be put in the body of the post, not
strictly as a subject.
 
I'm sorry, this is the first discussion here. When I burned it, I checked
the CD to make sure it copied over and it is saying the data is there, ex.
200MB, but however the data doesn't show up for me to open, the window is
blank and it is not locked for read only either, I Checked. Thank you.

Hi Mary,

I don't see how this can have anything to do with your database file. The
burn process probably got corrupted somehow which can happen with
cd-burners. Try burning another one and also verify that the cd-burner
works. Do you close the cd?
 
It says there are no items to view in this folder, but the size I burned
shows up and I just did another burn and made sure it was finalized. The
burner itself works fine, I had just made three cds. You do just burn the
database file like any other file right? This has just confused me.
Appreciate the input, thanks.
Mary
 
Mary;

You must close the session after the burn. Try using Nero, I have had much
luck with it, also use good blanks. don't buy the cheap CDs. Last but not
least, you can also get a CD head cleaner.
