You cannot. The only option is to make and mde which hides all code and
does not allow changes to forms, reports, etc., and run it either in full
Access or in the Run time version of Access.
You could convert it to a self extracting zip file, then it would be an
EXE file. If you want to be able to run an Access database file on a
machine that does not have Access loaded, it's not that easy.
You need to buy and load MS Access or if you have the developer's
version of Access it has a runtime version of Access that you can give away
with your product.
You can't covert it to a .exe, but you can setup a package install that will
allow you to run the application on a pc that does not have ms-access
installed.
Here is a great link that explains this process, in regards to the a2003
runtime...
