You can create very nice applications in Access and distribute them using
the Access runtime
and appropriate installation package etc.... VB is probably a better tool
for creating these types of
programs.

You cannot just let users use a MDB file and assume they have Access and it
is setup in the right ways.

Tons of people are making applications with VB, C++ or C# that access a
database like Access.
