  1. No, not natively.

    There are some ways to emulate an EXE:

    • Excel: 3rd party tool that claims to be able to compile an workbook to an EXE: DoneEx XCell Compiler. You can also create an automatic marco, Auto_Open, to run when the workbook is opened.
    • Access: Microsoft used to have a way of delivering an Access database as an executable (the name of the tool escapes me) so you could deploy your database to desktops that didn’t have Access installed, but I don’t think they offer this anymore. You could convert you MDB to an MDE and set the startup properties to hide the database window and menus and such to emulate an EXE, but your users will need to have Access installed.
    • Word: You can pass the /m switch to Word on startup with the name of a macro to run.
