I'm seriously thinking about upgrading from Office 2000 to 2003.
However, I don't really use Word, Excel, or PowerPoint that much so I
don't NEED to upgrade those. My primary interest is upgrading Access. So
my question is...

Is it better to just go ahead and upgrade the entire suite for the
convenince of having it package or does it really matter?

I just had a bad experience with using Office 2000 and Outlook 2003 when
I had to uninstall Office which took Outlook off the machine.

You need to analyze all of your useage as there are significant difference
between 200 and 2003.

One that has just been pointed out is no access to the clipboard object.
Access throught the Office clipboard is limited by ownership and it seems
it's on an object by object basis.

The overall security in 2003 is much tighter. Still, 2003 has many more
convenience which I believe make it much better.
