It's not INT_MAX; CLASS_E_NOTLICENSED is Win32 error code 0x80040112.

This error says that either Access was not installed on your machine, or
the DAO DLLs were not properly registered.  This can happen if you do a
brain transplant to copy one hard disk to another, and you don't get the
registry quite right.

Does Access run standalone?
