My question is, will the database run fine or does the Terminal Server need
to be upgraded to 2007?


Storing the backend database file on a terminal server is a bit
unusual as most foiks would put the BE on a file server.

That said neither the Terminal Server, if being used as a file server,
or a file server needs to have Access installed on it. *

However if you want to run the Access FE from the Terminal Server then
the access will nee to be installed on it. *The runtime will suffice
if you've purchased the A2003 runtime.
