As Pat Hartman will tell you, there is no way, EVER, to make an access database an executable file. You can create a RUNTIME version of your database, if you have the developer's edition, which will allow you to use an Access database without having a full version of Access.
It is possible to use an mdb file for the storage facility for a Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc. program, but you would need to have that programming tool available and then the mdb file is good ONLY for the tables and queries, and you cannot use forms, reports, etc.
Again, I say (with strong emphasis, so all can hear) - You can NEVER make an Access database an executable!
