Was out of town so couldn't try your suggestion til now. Unfortunately,
that didn't do the trick. I also eleminated the Gds Attachment Search
addin that Daniel suggested, and that didn't do it either. I also did a
check to see what all needed to be updated and updated all the things
for Office 2003, and that didn't do it either (current on XPpro updates
as well). Now there IS something weird about the updates. It's telling
me that I need:
Security Update for Office 2000: WordPerfect 5.x Converter
(KB873380) (English version)
Security Update for PowerPoint 2000 (KB889167)
Security Update for Word 2000 (KB905553)
Security Update for PowerPoint 2000 (KB905555) (English version)
Security Update for Excel 2000 (KB905757)
Security Update for Outlook 2000 (KB905646) (English version)
However, I have Office 2003 not 2000. I tried running these updates but
it wants the 2000 CD. I don't have that anymore because when I got
2003, it was the full thing, not an update.
What next?

If Microsoft Update is telling you that Office 2000 needs updating, then at
least one application from the Office 2000 suite must be installed. Check
in Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs to see what it is. Remove it if
you don't need it.

As to the things that didn't work, I don't have any other suggestions.

It's evidently the standalone Access program. I'm not going to bother
with these updates.

As for the "things that didn't work", see my post of the 14th - I did
finally find the right combination and am no longer getting the Error.
