Running an Access DB without Access..

[Robert Css.]

How do I compile an access database into a standalone program? Do I
need special software to do this? Does it cost money or is it
available as a free d/l on the net somewhere?

Thanks,
Robert

You need to purchase the Developer edition for the version you are using.
It will help you create an installation package (not an exe), which will
have everything your users need to run your application.

There is NO way to convert an Access database application to an .EXE file.

With the Developer's Edition mentioned by Kelvin, you can distribute the
Access run-time files royalty-free with your Access application so that
users who don't have Access can run your database application.
