License problem

[pgr]

Hi!
I've installed Office 2000 on NT Workstation machine.
Now I must have Office97 on that machine.
I've removed Office 2000 and installed Office97.
Everything worked fine. Word is OK as is Powerpoint and Excel. The problem is that when I try to run Access it says that there's no license on that machine for Access.
I need Access 97 on that machine!

Later I did the same on a Windows 98 machine (Installed Office 2000, removed it and then I put Office97. The problem with Access appeared as well).

Any clues?
Many thanks.

There is a known issue between those two versions of Access and a font called Hatten.ttf. You might try renaming that file and reinstalling Office.

Hi,

I too have seen this problem and there is a solution to it...

You need to get a small program from the Microsoft web site called aclicn97.exe If you do a search for the file name or Q191224.

Just follow the instructions from Microsoft and you will be able to get Access working again.
