I see that when you backup the WINS database from the WINS Manager application it creates a .mdb file. I have tried to view this file in various versions of Access and Excel with no luck.

Does anyone know a way of extracting this db and viewing it with an application?

I appreciate the help.

I know what you're asking for and I am not aware of any apps you can use to view this file; however, why view the backup file when you can view the same data via the WINS MANAGER that created it in the first place? -- Devil Dog --
 
My boss is looking for a way to print the db out...print screens just don't do it.

What about settup an ODBC link for the db file, and then try pulling it into Access or better yet if you have Crystal Reports you can get it that way.

I have had success using both those methods, more so with CR.
