The following VBA code should do it..

    Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\<path to Excel 3 file>"
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "C:\convert\excel-97.xls", FileFormat:=xlNormal _
        , Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
        CreateBackup:=False

Hope this helps,
Sanjiv
