Hi John,

You need to call Microsoft for assistance. None of the volunteers who answer
questions in this newsgroup, including me, will be able to help you
(legally). If you can convince the appropriate person as Microsoft that you
are a legitimately licenced user, they should be able to give you an
installation key that will work.

b) dont use MDB for anything it is prone to corruption.

c) upgrade your stuff to 2002+ and then upsize it to sql server /
access data projects
