Hi

I created database, some forms and reports. Entered some data and now I'm
happy with my mini-database.

Is there a function in access which allows me to "package and deploy" my
database that make it into single nice executable that installs on a users
machine as standalone ?

I was thinking in the line of VB that you can just select P&P and 5 step
wizard and bang there you go ready for shipping..

Does acccess have something similar ?

Thanks for the help

No, you can't create an executable file from an Access database. You can
create a runtime version if you have the Developers Edition of Access
(Called Developer's Extensions for 2003).

no. you can make it a mde file out of it but users would
still need access. you have have a runtime version with
out access but you cannot make you db an exe executable.
