Cannot open Access Database with SQL server link

$

I have an Access database that is linked to our SQL server.  My problem is that when our file server crashed, I wanted to be able to take our database backup and run it on a local workstation so that I had access to our database while the server was down.

When I attempted to open the database, it gave me a message that said it could not find the SQL server.  I understand this since the SQL server lives on our file server.  My questions is, can I install a copy of SQL server on my workstation so that I can use my database locally?  If so, how would I accomplish it.

I have a Windows 7 64 bit workstation.
