is the table prefix the same with the joomla installation and the _vm   tables?

If not, export the old vmart tables

_vm

open with notepad. Then do a replace to change the table prefix to the same one that your joomla installation is using.
Import the file. Then run the migrator.

ALSO; also, you can try to run the migrator with ONLY "products" checked. Then with only "orders" checked

Great! I will try and do that and hopefully I will have a successful report back to the forum. Thanks again.

Well, Thank you again BanquetTables.pro for your help. I imported the tables into a text editor as suggested and renamed all the j17 to jml. I was able to migrate most of the virtuemart tables but still had some error messages. I was able to also identify what tables were giving the errors and I have been spending most of my free times manually deleting or dropping those problem tables.

While there are no more error messages, most of my extensions did not show up in the extension manager though they are native to JM 1.7. I have Easyblog and JV-LinkDirectory which are both native to JM 1.7; I will appreciate if anyone can explain how to make them show in the extension manager.
