access won't open

[mike]

I've had to re-install access on a new hard drive because
the one it was on failed. I've installed office 97 and
now access tells me it won't open because the machine does
not have a license for the program. All the other
programs work, IE: word, excell, powerpoint, but not
access. This is not the first time I've had to replace
hard drives and I've always been able to install and use
this program. I've entered the id key number at
installation and I don't know what else it is asking for.
If anyone can help please e-mail me at
(e-mail address removed), I'm not on the boards that
often. Thanks Mike
