Distributing a database application

Hi there-

I've been using Access & VBA to create databases, but I'm thinking of
writing a database application in VB.NET. I'm a little confused, though--if
I wanted to later distribute the application, will it be able to run on
machines without SQL Server (or similar)?

Can I simply create an Access file (.mdb) to connect to?

How will that work?

Thanks in advance!
Joe
