What I have is a packaged product on my standalone PC which uses SQL Server as its database. Some of the data that I can see via forms within the application would be much more use if I could extract and manipulate it. At present my only option is manually transcribe the information into a spreadsheet. My cluelessness probably doesn't warrant a solution here but any help would be appreciated. I've tried windows authentication and username / password which I discovered in some of the distribution files. However it doesn't get as far as processing the username / password login.
