Access 97

[Artie]

I know it's old, but my company wrote an application that uses Access 97. I
tried loading Office 97 on my home machine. All apps work except Access. It
indicates that I don't have a License for it on this machine. I have the
Original CD and Key and Product ID. How can I get it licensed? REGWIZ /R
doesn't seem to work, which is what I have written on the inside case.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Fairly common bug caused by a font of all things.

See this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article for the solution:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=141373

And same information here:

There is a free download to fix the problem but it only works on Windows 98 I believe.
