You can't.

An MDE is not the same as an EXE. MDE files still require that Access be
installed on the workstation.

There's no way to turn a DB into an executable. Assuming that you want to
allow people who do not have Access installed to use your application, you
have 3 main options:

1) Rewrite your application in a language that can be compiled into an
executable such as VB or VC++ (note that your data will still have to be
kept in an external MDB file)

2) Rewrite your application as a web app

3) Get the Access Developer edition that's appropriate for whatever version
of Access you're using (see
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/deve...onversions.htm for details of
what you need to look for) What this allows you to do is package your
application together with a royalty-free run-time version of Access. Users
who don't have Access installed will be able to install the run-time and use
your application. They will not be able to use the runtime to make design
changes to your application (nor to any other MDB)

I'd start with VB 2005 Express, or VB 2008 Express.

It might be a lot of work; you'd need to code most of it by hand-- but
it would be worth it.
