I have avoided SP3 like the plague because of problems with it:

But, Access 2003 seems to work fine on Vista. Just make sure you set it to "Run As Administrator." And not your mdb file, but the MSAccess.exe file under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10 (or Office folder if you have one installation).
