well the two major ones I can think of
1.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904953/en-us

This functionality has now been disabled "permanently" with Office 2003 
SP2.
"Because of legal issues, Microsoft has disabled the functionality in 
Access
2003 and in Access 2002 that let users change the data in linked tables 
that
point to a range in an Excel workbook."
2.
 How you handle Office and Access Macro Security, there are various 
options in archives.
Not really a problem for a single user as can be disabled from menus.

There are palso roblems with Outlook Forms and a lot of minor problems
if you do an adminstrative install to a whole series of machines.

If you run both Access 97 and 2003 from a non admin user
you have to change an .srg file.
