integration between 2007 & 2003

I want to install access on my home computer so that I can work at home with
the access database information I use at work. My office uses access 2003; if
I install 2007 on my home computer will I have any problems working with the
data I bring home? Is there any reason I should not get 2007 version?

Access 2007 works fine with an MDB in 2000 or 2002/3 format.

If you are not used to working with the new version, you have a bit of a
learning curve in finding things in the ribbon. If you are modifying the
objects (forms, code, ...), not just the data, you may need to know about
decompiling if you hit unexpected errors.

I am not really familiar with Access 2003 or Access 2007. So as long as there
are no issues transferring data (if I update data at home using Access 07,
then send the data back to my office where it will run in Access 2003) I
should probably go with 2007.
