You can't. It's not possible. 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/developereditionversions.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 make design changes to your
application (nor to any other MDB)

To add to Doug's comments. Visual Basic does not completely stand-alone
either. There is a runtime file which must be included. That runtime version
is checked when a VB app is installed and installed if the files are
missing.. AAMOF, very few high-level languages can produce stand-alone
executables. Practically every one has adjunct files which are hooks into
the OS or hardware.
