I have legal copies of Access 2000 and Access 97. I used to be able to run
both of them on the same computer when I was running Win95. I'm asuming that
now since my computer is Win98 I get a message that tells me that I can't run
Access 97 since the machine doesn't have a license. Why is that?

I need to be able to run 97 since I can't seem to get by a run-time error in
2000 on one of my databases (I think it's 2486).
