Opening Access97 from Windows XP

[Tatge]

Windoes XP does not permit me to open Access which came
with my Office97 program; what add-on solves this problem.

What error message do your get?

I have no problems with this setup.
I have seen cases (Ususally where a runtime has been uninstalled)
where MSA97 loses its license information.
To recover you need to re-install

I don't know about Tatge, but I think I have the same
problem, and it gives me a message box that
says "Microsoft Access cannot start because there is no
license for it on this machine."
Other than 97, I am also running XP Small Business.
Just for kicks (well, mostly because it isn't in SB), I
also installed PowerPoint 97, which works perfectly.

Actually, I just found what I needed (though I haven't
tried it yet). If you have the same problem, Tatge, go
to "http://support.microsoft.com/?id=141373". (Thanks
to "Access 97 Installation" post for solution [should be
2 nodes up from this topic])
