I believe you must be the owner to convert. I think you have to create a
new database and import each item into it so you become the owner, then you
can convert. It has been about two years since our last upgrade, but I
think that is what we had to do with a few of our databases created by
former employees.

I would agree. Actually the best approach (read least hassles) is to
unsecure in 97, convert it, and resecure in 2003.
