Here's the situation:

This compnay uses a Sybase database server running on NT. They have an
Access application that takes that data and converts it into reports. I
didn't do any of this, so that's why I'm a little confused. I have a .log
file that a backup .bat file made. This .bat file was created by the same
person who made the Access side of things. I have an 87MB .log file now and
I need to figure out how to get to the data that's inside of it so that i
can import it into my Access tables.

thanks in advance,

Tony Barnhill

From your description, it sounds like the .bat file creates a
database dump. If that's the case, you won't be able to read
it with Access. check the .bat or post it for someone's opinion
here. Access can use ODBC to connect to a Sybase ASE server.
It should also be able to import CSV files that you could
create by using bcp to extract data from the ASE server.
