Question : Convert Access 97 Databases Programmically to Access 2003 File Format

Hi there

I have been struggling to figure out how to convert Access 97 databases to Access 2003.  I don't need to worry too much about errors as they databases are all data only rather than code containing files, but I have over 100 so I need to do this in code.

I've tried shelling out to the command live from vb eg
Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\program files\mydb\hampshir.mdb" /Excl /Nostartup /wrkgrp "C:\program files\mydb\cmssys.mdw" /user Developer /pwd xxx  /convert "C:\program files\mydb\hampshir2003.mdb"
This does work but for some reason it converts to Access 2000 file format instead of Access 2003.  How can I produce Access 2003 format files.  Does it really matter if they remain in Access 2000 format?  Can I do this with Microsoft Access 11 Object Library code.  I need an example which includes a workgroup login similar to the above.

Thanks in advance

David
