Are there ways to make Access objects into standalone executables? I have a couple of reports and forms that call reports, etc. that I'd like to turn into apps that non-technical people can use. Is this possible?

In a word, no. There is a free runtime version of Access available from MS that can be loaded on PC's that don't have Access.

Thanks for the answer. All the workstations and terminal servers I'm working with have Access 2010 so that's not an issue. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to make Access objects user-friendly for the non-user.

That's more about how you design it, with a startup form and such. Most developers do not let users into tables or queries, just forms and reports. That gives you control over the experience and you can make it as user friendly and intuitive as you want.
