Access97 will work fine on XP
but you will need the service-releases & jet-engine updates

one common bug is "there is no license installed ..."

Office 97 and Access 97 will run just fine on Windows XP.

Occasionally, after installing Office 97 on Windows XP or Windows 2000, a
user may receive the following message: "Microsoft Access can't start
because there is no license for it on this machine." This problem is due
to a misbehaving font. The fix for that problem, should it occur, is found
at:
