You will have some problems finding Access 97, since it is several versions
behind the current offering from Microsoft. (2003 is the current version).
Once you do find a copy of Access you will need to build the application (or
have it built) to implement your buisiness requirements. Or you need to
find a commerical product that does 'almost' what you want to do. There are
several 'templates' available for access that may come close, and perhaps
someone on the newsgroup knows of them. However, they need a little more
information since none of us knows what your "housing code enforcement
requirements" are.

Best of Luck on your project.

You'll probably have to create one yourself, or hire it done. That's
rather too specific a requirement to just pick up a pre-made database.

It might not be all that big a job; I'm not familiar with the code
enforcement business, so I have no idea what information you would
need to model - but you can come up with the "Entities" (real-life
persons, things or events such as Owners, Properties, Ordenances,
etc.) - each of which will be modeled with its own Table. Once you
have a properly normalized set of tables you can start designing
user-friendly Forms for data editing and entry, and Reports for
printing.

You'll get plenty of good advice here if you want to tackle it
yourself - or you may want to hire someone to work with you to set it
up. Your choice!
