I currently have an access database to store membership information. I want to allow the users to input the necessary information into a form that has been created. I do not want the users to have to have access. How do I create a stand alone form where the users can input the necessary information

Access doesn't work that way. However, all versions of Office have a special edition for developers. This edition includes a run time version of Access that you can distribute to users who don't have Office or Access installed.
For Office 2007 you can get the run time extensions for free (search microsoft.com for Access Run time). For previous version you have to purchase the edition.
What version of Access are you developing in?

I am currently using access 03. I am needing to make this application standalone so access doesn't need to be installed on each PC.

Then you need to purchase the Visual Studio Edition of Office or upgrade the app to Access 2007.
