[Resolved] Access 97 says I do not have a license

[jgjulio]

I have Office 97 installed in my XP computer. All the programs open fine except Access. An error code says I do not have a license. I have uninstalled the entire Office suite. Reinstalled several times. Nothing seems to convince this program to open. I used to open for months just fine. Then one day ... NO MORE.

any ideas on how to get this program to see it is legal and it does have a license.
Thank you

See if this note helps?

Thank you. Thank you. That solution worked. The solution seemed like if I lite a candle, turned around three times and then blew out the candle the program worked. How does changing the name of a font name allow the reinstall to work?
Again thanks very much. This has solved a real problem for me.

Glad to hear it worked, and Welcome to TSG.

As for why it works? No idea!
