Your users should install MSDE - there is setup.exe on CD, as I remember it
is not installed by default. When MSDE is installed, you work with it the
same way as with MS SQL Server 2000. Really, MS Access or MS Office at all
could not be installed, it is enough to run just MSDE installation from CD.

MSDE has limit for 5 concurent connection that should be enough for local
usage and limit for database size - 2 GB.
