MS Access 2000 database will not run on an English or Japanese OS

My company has a few legacy MS Access 2000 databases used for project based data, 2 of these databases do not work on the English installation of MS Access 2000. And 开发者_如何学运维from what I hear, at least one of the two, will not work from the English OS.

I am becoming fairly handy in MS Access out of necessity more than anything, but am hoping someone has already come across this issue, and can pinpoint what I could do to fix the problem (assuming its a trivial fix).

Many thanks! Stuart
