Upgrade problems 2.12 to 3.03 (AREV Specific)

Having taken the big leap and decided to give OI a try we have been trying to upgrade our Arev system to allow sharing files. We have run through the upgrade process twice now and still are getting stuck when the system is trying to upgrade our applications. We have selected the option of converting our tables to be SQL compatible (do we need this for OI to share access?). The upgrade chugs along merrily doing the upgrade for hundreds of tables, then stops at one table ( I think it is Windows), and sits at 99%. It sits there until the PC is rebooted (first time it was left overnight). We have tried it on two different PC's - both the same result. There are no error messages on screen or in the log file. Any ideas?

The files must be in 1.1+ format. To check if a particular file is in this format, DUMP the file. If you get a record count, it is in the correct format. If you don't get a record count, remake the file and try again. I don't know if this is your problem, but at least it's something to check.

The files are in 1.1+ format - it is in fact the dictionary that is causing the problem. In the error log I get the following
Error Reading DICT.WINDOWS, Key=AMV.CNT
Error code=100 DICT.WINDOWS*GLOBAL
for most (if not all - I haven't checked) of the items in the dictionary.
Strangely the WINDOWS table attached says that it belongs to SYSPROG, not GLOBAL
The last line of the log file is truncated, ie
Error Reading DICT.WINDOWS,
HELP!
