Question: Can I look at the Event Logs with other software products?
Answer: There are many products that can view or report on the Alarm and Event Logs. To open these tables with other products, they must be able to read FoxPro tables and index files. How this is accomplished from product to product differs; some may be able to open them directly, some may need to be configured for external data sources.
In Microsoft Access, for example, you must create, or have created a database to which you want to connect the tables. You then can either Import or Link to the Alarm and Event Log tables. Import means copying the data to a new table, and Link means connecting to the tables. The later is generally the preferred method, as the import needs to be refreshed as needed, where links are always up to date. You will need to specify the file type, Foxpro (.dbf) files.
