Is there a way to deploy an Access app that doesn't require the client to
purchase a copy of Access? Will .mde do this? If purchase of Access is
required, is there a way to automate or include it in an install routine?

You are looking for the Access Runtime,

This is part of the Office Developer Extensions it is an additional purchase
to Access/Office it allows you to distribute royalty free Access
applications it comes with an installer that allows for the runtime to be
installed at the same time as your application. Be warned your runtime
application will not have any of the default menus/toolbars you have to
setup your own, all you code needs to be wrapped within error trapping code
to work correctly.
