Can anyone tell me how to create a new geodatabase in Access 2003 where I can
import spatial data such as an ArcView shapefile?

Shapefiles are actually stored in dBase format. You can use File...
Get External Data... Import (or Link even) to import the shapefiles.
You'll need a copy of the ArcView index to figure out which tables are
which and probably to interpret some of the fieldnames, but the data's
available.
