Is it possible to convert a Glock 17 to 40 smith and Wesson?

Old model, no. New twin pin model, with a new slide and barrel, fill your boots.

If you were hoping for a barrel swap, the asnwer is NO.

As mentioned above, you can get a complete new topend if your frame is the newer style.

Speaking of get'n a new top end,
does anyone know ware I can get a new slide (G17) ? ?

...WW

I posed the question of getting another barrel and slide for my G17 to Glock. They said no, I'd have to purchase another pistol....

Technically, the frames are identical, but you'd need a new slide, barrel, trigger/ejector block, and mags, and this is ONLY f you have a 3rd-gen 3-pin frame.
