I had a slightly similar problem when the place I work lost the CD key to
the Small Business package and had to switch to the newly acquired
multi-license "standard" copy. Only the problem we had was it still would
not let us run Access even though it was installed. Even a complete
reinstall of both OS and Office didn't work. All registry deletions had no
effect. I had to go in and delete the partition (??thankfully?? after the
system did a complete crash) and re-create it. I don't know for sure what
the problem file was, but it works fine now.

~Thanks much for this info - it is very appreciated.

~Now if I could only figure out how Office2K screwed up my registry on
~the Win2K machine I use at work, so when I uninstalled
~Office2K and then
~installed Office97 (involves over 10,000 licensed copies of Office97 -
~the organization still is using Office97 as the standard because of
~this), and went into Access97, Access will NOT import Excel97
~spreadsheets, which should be a given. The way around the whole problem
~was to export the spreadsheet as a DBaseIV file (DBF) and then import
~that into Access97. Any ideas what might have happened to mess up this
~setting in Access97??? I have tried to uninstall Office97 and
~re-install
~several times, and clean out the registry of all traces I could find of
~Office, but the problem still exists.
