You should have a painless experience, moving from A2000 to 2003.
You will need to set Tools | Macro | Security to Low to avoid a series of
annoying messages where Microsoft tries to convince you not to open your
database, *every* time you try to open it.
If you used references such as the Calendar control or MS Graph, you might
have to fix your references after conversion:

If you find that forms with a subform begin crashing, see point 3 under the
Development section in this article:
http://allenbrowne.com/ser-25.html
A2003 can be more pedantic about the way you refer to controls on a subform.
If this becomes an issue, be sure to include the ".Form" bit explained here:

Be sure to install at least SP1 for Office 2003. SP2 also includes some
important fixes, but breaks your ability to write to an existing Excel
spreadsheet if you need that.
Beyond that, you should have no issues that you did not already have in
A2000.

My database was developed and is currently running in Access 2000.
I am contemplating upgrading to the latest version of Access (2003?)
running on new computers.
Will there be any major problems running a 2000 db in 2003?
My only reason for upgrading is because the MS Office 2000 Professional
disks got lost in our office move, otherwise I would install 2000 onto the
new machines.
Alternatively, does any kind soul have a copy of MS 2000 Office
Professional which they no longer need and would be prepared to sell?
