Is there command line process to convert mdbs from access 97 to 20

Is there a command line process which will convert mdbs from access 97 to
access 2003? We have so many to convert but don't want to do each one by
touching it individually.

This will convert to the 2000 file format using Access 2003.

"<path>\msaccess.exe" "<path>\old.mdb" /convert "<path>\new.mdb"

If you want the new file to have the same name as the old file (probably the
case), I recommend that you use a temporary folder to convert into (or from)
so that the new file will go to a different folder than the one the old file
is in. You'll want to keep the old file until you know the new one is
working.
