I agree LogParser is one of the most underrated tool which takes a
little tweaking, but once you figure it out and format it the way you
want, the results can be amazing. Most importantly...FREE!

"microsft log analyzer" if you mean Log Parser, I am sure there is way we
could make it work, maybe exporting out to a csv and using the textline
input format.  There are amazing things you can do with Log Parser, most of
which you find by trial and error.
Take a look at this, it shows many different uses of Log Parser, it includes
a little tool to save a bunch of scripts, and selectively run them all at
once or just pick and choose.

Let me know exactly what you are tying to accomplish, maybe I can throw
something together.

    Thank you for all the input. The job was done today. I
    just imported the data into excel and wrote some functions
    to extract the data needed using simple Text manipulation
    functions like "left()" and "right()"

    As for the microsft log analyzer, it looks good. But it
    will not parse through only one detail of an event (ie.
    discription) and seperate it into seperate colums. At
    least from my understanding it didn't.


    Thanks all.
    Adam
