Can I create a Stand-Alone app from an Access Database?

[BillyL]

I've created a contact management application in Access and would like to distribute it to all users in the company. I would like to avoid purchasing Access for each user and just create a stand-alone Visual Basic application that I can install on the client workstations. Can the forms and code be copied from Access into a VB executable file?
This is probably too big of a question to be answered in a reply so if there is a suggestion on what VBA books are good that would be a great help.
Thanks

I know you can create stand-alone Access aplications/forms etc.. with MS Office developers edition.

As CDN eludes, if you have MS ODE you can distribute the run-time version of Access to your users and they can interact with your .mdb or .adp thru it
