[AccessD] Standalone Access .exe?

This does beg the question of how the db container could expand to hold the data...

Of course in my case it would be reaching out to SQL Server over the internet.  But of course my 
apps require Hamachi to be installed to form the VPN for accessing SQL Server.  And they require 
joining a private network, all this before ever being able to do the connection.
