Problem in DB Conversion from 3.7 to 4.0 SP1

Hi everyone,
Here is a new case to conversion of database from 3.7 to 4.0 !!

The problem lies here is that when I try to convert the DB from 3.7 to 4.0 SP1, the message asking for the confirmation of the DB Conversion comes.
As soon as the confirmation is given the application is automatically stopped wihtout any error message being given. Is there is some special setup that is required. Could this be problem relating to keys setting or there is some special procedure related to conversion of the DB

It is highly urgent if someone could help me out of this. the current size of DB is 12 GB

The correct way to convert is:
- create a backup of your 3.x database
- uninstall 3.x
- install 4.x
- create a new database using the 4.x executables
- restore 3.x database into the new 4.x database.

Converting by just opening the database with the new executables usually wors, but for produciton environments it is recommended to go the long way.

And there is for example one bug in this: after you convert the database, you need to open the company, if you just close the navision, whole process is canceled.

On Native versions there is another. You have to open db locally and open company. It didn't work for me when I opened db and company through nds.
