Where can I find information on making my database more professional to
represent to a customer? things like:
1) making exe file of the database if possible
2) getting rid off navigation bars under subforms
3) [if possible] providing customer a full demo that is not editable by
customer or usable beyond a specific date. Like maybe giving the customer
only a client showing the GUI of forms, and holding the database, queries and
programs on a server!

Not possible, but you can make and MDE which will hide the design view.
2) getting rid off navigation bars under subforms

In the form's design view (before you make the MDE) open the Property Sheet,
click on the Format tab, and turn off Record Selectors and Navigation
buttons.

Running a database from a remote server without using a Terminal Server or
Citrix, is painfully slow. I like to do demos with a flash video, made with
Camtasia:
