Access Database without opening access first

[cookd2]

I'm wondering if there is a way to open an access database (ive started with a microsoft template for an inventory management database) outside of the access environment. I'd like the program to run more like a .exe file rather than a database, but still having the links to and the functionality of the microsoft database

is this possible?

Convert Access databases to Executables

or you could use the access runtime files, you can find them on you office2003 cd. this is just to use the database no form amendment can be made using this. altho it will still alter the tables for inputting data.
