I've heard someplace that it's impossible to upgrade from MS Access 97 to
Access 2003. Something about 2003 not being able to read/convert the
database compiled in Access 97. Is this true? If so, is there a
workaround?

No.
 
I have converted 2 databases without too many problems so
what you heard is incorrect.

Unless by "the database compiled in Access 97", you meant
an MDE file but MDE files are compiled and the canonical
text component of your VBA code has been removed and MDE
files cannot be converted or modified in any version of
Access.

Did anyone respond to your inquiry about converting your access97databases to access 2003? If so, what was the answer to your question about converting?
