Hi im getting this while converting
Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of Invision Power Board 3.0. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the Database account used does not have permissions to access it.
The error that was received from the Database was: SELECT command denied to user 'sm_smf1'@'localhost' for table 'members'

You need to make sure that whatever MySQL user SMF is configured to use must be able to also access IPB's database.
User is banned now for other reasons, topic closed.
