If you think there is something free that you can download then you are
mistaken. The runtime is free for *users*, but *developers* have to
purchase software to give them license to distribute the runtime to users.
That situation will reportedly be different when the developer's tools for
Access 2007 are released later this year, but for all older versions you
have to buy them.
Article at link below discusses what is required for Access 2003.

I should point out that going this route is not practical from a financial
standpoint unless you will provide the runtime to at least "several" users.
For just a few you are better off just having them purchase Access retail.
