Hi Mark, I don't know if you have gotten the solution yet - there are a lot of messages around the place. This is a known bug and it got me a long time ago. the problem is actually with a font which Access can't find a license for ans so won't start. the solution is to delete the font from your computer and then Access will work fine.
The font name is hatten. I have also had problems with a font hatten<something>. Hope this helps.
