Software
Is there anything I should know or do before installing Office 2003.
The current system consists of:
Server (small business server 2000)
2 Laptops (Win2000 prof, Office 2000)
1 PC (Win 2000 prof, Office 2000)
1 Pc (Win XP and Office 2000)
Where is the best place to purchase the product. We are based in Ireland
Thank you.

Make sure that your systems are virus and malware free.
Make sure you have sufficient disk space for the installation.
Buy 4 licensed copies at the best price you find from a vendor you trust.
I don't recommend that you run Office on the server itself.

Do you need a Access and Outlook?
If not look into OpenOffice (WWW.Openfice.org)
It is open source code. It is free to use.
It is about 95% compatable with Microsoft Office.
MS Office can cost about $300 to $500 per copy.
you can try OpenOffice and see of if will work for your needs.
OpenOffice work on MAC, Windows, Linux, Solaris OS's. and many languages, too.
Good Luck

I know its a bit late for this now but, I found this question whilst seeking an answer to a problem with a similar configuration to your own:
SBS 2000 server
XP pro machines running office 2003
Problem is that excel files in particular do not close down properly on the shared areas of the server and remain open. So the next time you go to open the files it prompts to open as read only. You have to manually go into the computer management on the server and close down the open files affected.
Hope this helps, would be a bigger help if I could find a solution to the problem :s
