Thanks to all for the response. So it looks like : 2 folks had problems running Access after installing. 1 had a minor problem. 1 had no problems. 2 had failure to install. The fact that when I saw the guy with no issues last he was wearing a red hat at the users meeting, aside, I think will chance it just to silence Windows Live Care. Will MS patch the sp? Will MS patch the patch? Will we have to wait for SP4?

MDBs which were working for years, stopped with Forms that wouldn't open. Failed to compile, oh and other stuff I cannot even remember now. Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have prevented all my users from moving to Office SP3. What are we missing? Nothing! Everything works as it always has done. I wasn't as fortunate as you, all my users had installed the update before problems became apparent, so it was a case of wasting a morning "un-rolling" the update. Then wasting more time trying to find out what the problem was. I have to say that in all the years, this is the first time I have been caught out like this so I cannot complain too much at MS. Most updates have always worked ok. This one I would avoid unless there are compelling reasons to do the upgrade unassociated with Access.

They are connected to an SQL back end. Problems found so far: * Tickboxes bound to bit fields don't work * Comboboxes blank if some table properties are set in Access * Some forms bound to stored procedures using Input Parameters no longer work. I had do bind the form to a SQL string on the fly. The installation 'luckily' failed on my computer. I am awaiting a patch for the patch.
