applications work but Access. Machine says no license on
this machine...is this a 95 vs. 98 issue. Anyone help...I
really don't wan't to pay Microsoft $35.00 to have have
them tell me Office 97 Access won't work with windows 98.

I am running Access 97 on windows 98 without any problems.

I don't think they know what they are talking about.

A well-known and annoying Microsoft bug, having to do with a font, of
all things.

See

for an explanation and a file (ACLICN97.EXE) you can download to fix it.
