Hi B.J.,
The MS Installer software will expect to always have access
to the original installation source and the Office 2003 CD
should have been supplied to you with the installed software.
If you paid for MS Office 2003 then, as a retail customer,
that price would include the CD of the product.
While Office 2003 does have an option called 'Local Install Source'
that copies many of the files from the CD to the hard drive that
cache can become damaged or corrupted and the CD is the method
to repair that.
You can download the 'full file updates' when available for
Office 2003 to minimize the need for the CDs, but its still a
bit risky to not have it.

I had the pc built and I do not have a cd to put into the pc when I go to
update Office 2003.How do I update the programs? >>
