This 'fix' is the 'hatten.font' that microsoft used as a primitive copy protection device with access 97. I have already explored this solution, this is not the fix here. When I attempted to install msaccess it did put in the registry line mentioned but still it failed with the 'no license' error. I will put in a bug report on this as soon as I have time. Meanwhile, anyone else having this problem please post here. I would also like to be able to confirm that the problem started with the 0.9 series of wine. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
