A97 and A2K

[Jack Isaacs]

Hello All

I have a PC running windows 2K and Office 2K.
I need to be able to load a complex access97 db (without converting), so I
have installed Access97 - leaving the Office2K untouched. Now, however, when
I try to open any access db - 97 or 2k - I get "Access can't start because
there is no licence for it on this machine". Why am I getting this, and what
should I do?

Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Les

Here you go, it's a very common problem.

Post back if it still does not work.

It may well be also that since you installed A97 over A2k you may have
corrupted the entire install of Access

Definitely try what Alex suggests. I've run into this problem a number of
times, and the font renaming solution has always corrected it.
