Simply Put: Microsoft Access included with Microsoft Office 2000 through 2003, including Office XP, is vulnerable to remote exploitation through Internet Explorer.  If a user with MS Access installed browses to a malicious website, arbitrary files could be copied to the users machine. The vulnerability can be used to run malicious code on a user’s machine without notification or permission. Gladiator feels this issue is extremely critical.
