I have a small database that I want to convert to a stand-alone database not requiring microsoft access. Is there an easy way to convert an access database into a visual basic database?
 
VB does not have it's own database. You can still use Access and code in VB using DAO or ADO to work with the database.

The apparent confusion may lie here. Access is a combination of Access front end and Jet database backend. You can use VB to write an alternative front end to a Jet database back end by using ADO or DAO as ArtieChoke says.

The easy way to get started with VB and Jet is to use the VB Database wizard
