Hello: First, verify that you have the correct version of Microsoft Office. Microsoft Access was only included in the Professional version of Microsoft Office 2003. Second, Microsoft Access is probably still on your computer, but you no longer have a shortcut to it. You can create one by following these instructions:
Open a file browser by navigating to Start>Computer (Start>My Computer on XP)
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 11\ (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office 11\ on x64 systems)
In this folder is a file called MSACCESS.exe. This is Microsoft Access.
Right-click on the file.
Hover/click on the "Send To" option.
Click on the "Desktop (Create Shortcut)" option.
You now have a shortcut to Access on your desktop.
