License error

[Larry Hoover]

Greetings,

I have installed Access 97 from the Office 97 installation CD onto my
Windows NT 4.0 SP6a machine. The installation said it was successful, but
when I try to run Access I get the following error. "Microsoft Access cant
start because there is no license for it on this machine." Anybody know how
to correct this?

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

I'll give you 10 guesses as to what the problem may be.

Trust me, you'll never get this. Would you believe it's caused by a font of all things?!
Serious.
