Not from Microsoft, but there are unsold, unopened, unused copies of many 
versions of most software _somewhere_.  The problem is finding them 
available from a reliable source. Just today, at my computer users group 
meeting, one of my colleagues was describing someone who came to him with a 
computer loaded with Microsoft software purchased via an online auction 
which turned out to be 'bogus', pirated, and unable to be registered. 
Fortunately for the person, with a lot of effort, he got his money back, 
reported the piracy to Microsoft and Microsoft sent him a free, licensed 
copy of the same software.

On the other hand, I've talked to people who've purchased software from 
eBay, were careful to demand unused, unopened, unregistered software with 
the original key, and had a good experience. I had a personal acquaintance 
who wanted a Developer Edition of Office 97, and found one that was 'new, 
unused', but had to pay a premium price (in Access 2000 days, before the SPs 
that resolved A2000's issues).

I've recently seen some copies of Access 2003 advertised on eBay, but no 
"runtime" noted.  Perhaps you could get each of them a copy of Access 2003 
for a reasonable price -- that should run your Access 2000 database.

If you can find, local to you, a dealer who resells back versions (and has a 
good reputation), that would likely be the best source; if anything goes 
wrong, you know who to go to get the issue addressed. There once were 
several in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but I haven't done any business with 
any of them in 20+ years.
