Use Startup Properties to hide the db window and then implement Access User
Level Security (advanced topic).

The above are "barriers". It is not possible to secure Access data from a
person who knows how to use Google and is willing to spend a few bucks.

Actually, while converting to a literal .exe is impossible, you CAN
make your database easily distributable to end users. If you get the MS
Access developer extensions (it only comes as a part of Visual Studio
Tools - which is $500) you can distribute your database with a run-time
version of access. As far as visibility goes, the run-time version of
access doesn't allow you to go into design view so other users
shouldn't be able to really mess with anything, though your database is
still just a normal .mdb.
