This question is frequently asked and answered here.

There is an Access runtime, available only in the older Developer Editions
and now in Visual Studio packages.  When combined with an install package it
will give (non-Access installed) users the basic interface EXE and DLL's to
run Access databases.

But considering the cost and install size, you might be better off just
buying users the $99 Access upgrade.

If all you want to do is view the data in the tables etc., you can open the
database with Excel.

You cannot.

You'll need to either purchase Access for each user; or purchase a
single copy of the appropriate Access Developer's Edition, currently
called something like Visual Studio Office Tools. This lets you create
royalty-free Access "Runtime" versions of msaccess.exe, which can be
distributed to users. They can use an existing database but have no
design tools included.

Or, you can store the data in an Access .mdb file and use Visual
Basic, Visual C++ or a variety or other programs to design a user
interface from scratch. Budget about twice as much time as you'ld need
for a similar Access frontend (assuming equal skill levels in the
programming environment and Access).

Or, finally, use VBScript to write a Web interface to the data.
