I've create an application access, but the problem is that I do not know how to make it executable??

Solution

There are several things to distinguish:

1. Compile forms and their code

Advantage: speed, space saving
Drawback: no changes possible on the forms and code (keep a copy for future amendments)
Method: Tools menu > Database Utilities> Make MDE file

Automatically open a form

Advantage: the user opens directly on the form, he can not tamper with the database.
Method: Tools menu> Startup
- Tip: To bypass the first form, hold the shift key when opening Access
