License issue - reinstall Office 97 "Upgrade" version

[George]

A client who happens to be a Fortune 1 or 2 company is still running Office
97 on all 92,000 desktops. I was asked to modify an Access 97 database. I
find that my Office 97 Professional Excel, Word, Powerpoint aps work but
that Access 97 displays a "no license found" message. My Office 97 Upgrade
was an upgrade to Office 95 Upgrade to something else that might not have
come on 3-1/2" diskettes. I'm sure I registered the upgrade(s) I see what
looks like a license number on the other 3 aps but not in Access.

Is there any way to fix my install? I have tried to remove and reinstall
and/or modify the existing install several times without positive results.
Also it seems to skip over the place where it should ask for the location of
qualitying software, where I'm supposed to put an install diskette into
drive A:
