[AccessD] Creating Applications With SQL & Access

In the case of Access, since you're not using it as a front end, you don't
need the run-time; the mdb or accdb is enough. In the case of SQL Express,
you'll need to install that on each client's machine/server and there's a
free version of SSMS, which may or may not be bundled with your download,
depending on which one you choose. Your clients will typically have no need
of SSMS, but you might want it there in case you have to troubleshoot or
something. That aside, just include the SQL Express package you downloaded
in your own setup package and that's it, you're done.
