How to compile a database?

How to compile a MS Access database as a few people can use this database? I have just started to use MS Access so if someone could explain how to compile it, I would be very grateful.


Thanks,

Jolanta

P.S. I'm using MS Access 2007

On the Database Tools menu, Make ACCDE.

I think the zibuteee needs to understand that "compiling" in Access is not the same thing as compiling in other languages, where an exe file is generated that can be run from any computer, whether or not they have Access installed. Even with a compiled Access database, either a full version or a run-time version of Access must be present on all PCs being used.

The advantage in using 2007 is that the Run-time version can be downloaded for free.
