Has anyone succeeded in pulling long term historical message data from the AIM Historian using ODBC. We were told in AIM class we could, but when we tried it all we get is the last hour or so of alarm message data. What we are looking for is older alarm message data stored in the mxxx.fdb files.

I would like to find out what points are in an existing historian and need a way to easily sort this information out.
