Yes, you install it "right alongside"!
You should install to a different folder. IIRC the installation will do
this for you if you let it, or you can decide the folder yourself.
I don't believe there's any such thing as Office 2003 SP4. I suggest you
study your disks a bit more carefully!
SP3 does contain some nasty bugs. Access 2003 SP3 is OK once the hotfix
is
installed: http://sup****t.microsoft.com/kb/945674/en-us
There's a whole raft of other hotfixes for the other Office 2003 SP3
programs.
