Access will not open

[Karl Sanders]

I recently reformatted my hard disk, and reinstalled
Window ME. I installed from disks
that came with the computer,Microsoft Works (including
Word 2000), Picture It and Encarta.
I installed Excel and Accessfrom wy Office 97 Professional
disk,. Excel works very well,
but Access won't come up. Instead I get the message "Not
licensed on this machine".
I have been running Access on this machine for several
years.
The refence number on this disk is 53488-297-1140778-
37270, the CD Key is 2978-1140778.
What can I do to use Access?

This is a common - and fixable - bug caused by a "rogue" font. The
following link explains what to do:

.
error message you may receive is:

Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license
for it on this machine.
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or
Folders.


In the Named box, type Hatten.ttf.


In the Look In box, type C:\Windows\Fonts or the path to
the Fonts folder on your computer. If you are not sure of
the font folder's location, open Windows explorer and
verify the directory where Windows is installed. Note: If
you are on Windows NT 4.0, the path may be C:\WINNT\Fonts


Click Find Now to start the search.


Under Name, right-click the Hatten.ttf file, and on the
menu that appears, click Rename.


Change the name of the file to Hatten.sav.

NOTE: You can find the Hatten.ttf file in the Fonts folder
under the name, Haettenschweiler


Insert your Access 97 or Office 97 CD into the CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive.


Click Start, and then click Run.


Type the command to run the Microsoft Access Setup program
and use the /y switch to reregister Access 97. For
example, type:


D:\Setup.exe /y
In the Installation Maintenance Program dialog box, click
Reinstall. The Setup program updates the system registry
for Access. When Setup is finished, start Access.


NOTE: Following the steps in this procedure has the side
effect of changing all the Start menu shortcuts to point
back to the Office 97 programs. If you want to have the
shortcuts point to the Office 2000 programs, run Office
2000 Setup in maintenance mode, and then click Repair. You
can then select to repair the Start menu shortcuts.
