Re-Installing Access 97

[KatieLady]

MS Access can't start because there is no license on this machine...

I purchased my PC 2.5 years ago with MS office installed. I have the disk and have re-installed it several times. I went to use Access today and I got the above message. Other applications (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint are all working?)

I've tried un-install then re-installed twice, no luck.

Help, I'm Blonde!
PS: I found my way here because I was unable to get help anywhere else...

Thanks.

Hi There

This is actually a bug in the Installation. It is caused by the MSAccess not registering itself correctly in the registry during the installation. Check out article Q141373 in the knowledge base at the following link

There is a link there where you can download a tool to fix this.

Good Luck
