Access 97 Database on Windows XP

[Kim Allen]

I just started running a Windows XP machine. I am the
only person in the office running XP. I need to be able
to Access our Access 97 database. I tried to open it in
XP but it would not let me. So I installed Access 97 on
my machine and it won't let me use 97 because it says the
licenses are not installed on this workstation. So I
can't even try to open it.

I do not want to have to use 2 computers. Please advise
if anyone knows a way around this problem.

Hi Kim,

The 'No License' message is a very common one and
Microsoft have a fix for it, see:
