Can not open Access 97

[shankbanta]

I have reloaded Office 97 on my machine after removing Office 2000 (we have a mixture here and only use Access 97). AFter install I now get the following message: Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license on this machine. I can run Word, PowerPoint and the rest of the office suite, but not Access.

Now what is up with this? I have removed and reinstalled this. Any suggestions.

I read the archives and found a similar problem and suggested running the service pack. I installed the service pack and still can not open Access.

Got it. I had installed Office 97 SR1 instead of Office 97 SR2. After installing SR2 everything was fine.
