Take a look at some native third-party DB components that will help you access MS Access databases with Delphi without the BDE. All the components compile directly in the Delphi exe file, you need not to distribute any DLLs.
Components for accessing MS Access databases through DAO. Product compiles in to your EXE. Requires Microsoft's DAO 3.5, which is part of Access 97. This product provides fast native access to data without BDE. It supports compatibility with all standard Delphi data-aware components and QuickReport.
A set of Delphi components, that provide high-speed performance when working with MS's Access databases. Diamond Access uses Data Access Objects 3.5/3.6 (DAO) to work directly with a Jet Engine, providing fastest possible interface to the Access databases. Key features: fast, native access to Jet databases without BDE; compatibility with standard and third-party Delphi data-aware controls;...
data access components for ADO and DAO, plus some database controls and other controls. These components compiles into your EXE.

Supports and encapsulates most or all DAO functionality, including replication, schema modification, etc. "Fast DAO Wrapper" is much faster than using OLE Automation directly to control DAO. In addition to Accesss MDB files and ODBC, DAO/Jet can provide access to some unusual "database" formats, like Excel spreadsheets, text files, and email stored in an Exchange server.
Titan Access 2001 is a set of tools that provide high-speed performance when working with Microsoft's Access 2001, Access 95, and Access 97 databases.
