Event Log

Q: How can I export an event log into Excel. Event Viewer has export into CSV, but it doesn't export event details.

What event log? A table in Access?
Docmd.TransferSpreadsheet....

If you look at the CSV in Excel you don't see the details but if you open it with a text editor you can. So this CSV isn't going to work for you in Excel. I suggest saving the event log as an XML file and then see if you can get Excel to unravel it. Check out this site. Looks like fun.

I think the OP is referring to the Windows operation system event log. I had the same question until I noticed the post was in the Windows forum.

You can write a Powershell script, but I used Event Log Explorer software for this:
