Office 97 - license on this machine?

[John Cookson]

I purchased a copy of Office 97 several years ago.
After installing it I found I did not really need it.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled only WORD, EXCEL and POWERPOINT - all
worked fine and still do.
Recently I had need to open an ACCESS file. I installed ACESS from my OFFICE
97 CD (I believe it installed OK), but when I went to open it, I received the
message
" Microsoft Acess can't start because there is no license for it on this
machine"

Did I do something wrong? .. or what?

I know this is an old product, but would sure appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.
John
