Cannot install Access 97 on new machine andy72 20.09.2006 11:42:01 I just purchased a new PC with XP including a demo version of Standard Office 2003. This demo version did not include Access so I tried to install from my Office 97 CD instead. It returns the error: "MS Access can't start because there is no licence for it on this machine" Until my work office upgrade to Office 2003 I would prefer to run the older version at home but am happy to upgrade if this is the problem. However, when I install the complete Office 97 I find that Excel, Word, PowerPoint all work fine. Can anybody advise if they believe this problem is with (1) my version of Access or (2) my machine? -- andy72
