What do we need to make our solutions into standalones?

You'll have to explain what your solution is, and what you consider a
standalone.

If you're asking "how can I compile my Access .mdb file into an
executable" - you can't.

As John's already told you, you cannot convert an Access application into an
executable.

What you can do, though, is package your application together with a
royal-free runtime version of Access. Your users will be able to install the
runtime version if they don't already have Access installed, and then will
be able to use your application (but not make design changes to it).

See what Tony Toews has at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/developereditionfaq.htm for more details.

That's exactly what I meant. Sorry. FMP users would have known what
I meant as that's where I learned terminology <lol>. I assumed it was
the same for all db developers said:

Super, will check this out.
