I have Office 2003 Professional on my laptop. I was recently receiving an
error message when opening Excel, so I tried to run "detect and repair". I
received the following error message: "The installation source for this
product is unavailable. Verify that the source exists and you can access it."
Now I find I can't modify the installation or even remove the installation.
Does anyone know how to work around this problem????

You need the installation media - otherwise known as the CD!

Joe,

It's the correct CD and it was not a pre-installed program. It's a full
retail version of Office 2003.

Is this a work computer or home PC? Did Office come pre-installed? If it
came pre-installed and is a name-brand box (like a Dell) then you will need
to contact the computer manufacturer.
