Hi Bob,
I'm not quite sure what tool you're referring to for
Office 2000. The MS Baseline Security Analyzer
http://microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx
covers primarily Office XP and later among it's features
and MS System Management Server and other tools can do
that as well.
There are some 3rd party sites/tools that check.

Hi Bob: 'Check for Updates' is readily apparent but is NOT automated detection tool i remember from my youth. Many moons ago a
tool/process would analyze installed updates & recommend new ones with user knowledge of installed Office functions. How do i run
the tool ? Thanx. >>

Hi again Bob: apparently i did not describe the tool well. It seems that to download updates for Office 2000, the user must specify which components to check for before downloading. I remember however launching an automated checker which worked similar to Win Update by examining ALL installed components & recommending which updates are avail for download. This simplifies selection process but this "automated detection tool" (unrelated to security - i think) is not visible from Office download screens. Plz advise. Thanx
