You might also want to review this MS utility, as an alternative.

I've had great results using it to dump Event Logs to a CSV, and then upload them into SQL. (Note: The CSV step is optional for our environment. You could go directly.)

This is suprisingly good, considering the source. [Wink]

Microsoft Log Parser 2.0

quote:
Log Parser supports the following input formats:
IISW3C: Internet Information Services (IIS) W3C Extended format.
IIS: IIS-formatted and IIS-generated log files.
IISMSID: Generated when the MSIDFILT filter or the CLOGFILT filter is installed.
ODBC: IIS Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) format that reads data directly from the SQL table populated by IIS when the Web server is configured to log to an ODBC target.
NCSA: National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) format.
BIN: Binary file format that is generated by IIS 6.0. Contains the requests received by the virtual Web sites on the same server running IIS 6.0.
URLSCAN: Generated by the URLScan filter if it is installed on IIS.
HTTPERR: IIS 6.0 HTTP error log files format.
W3C: W3C log file format, such as for personal firewall, Windows Media Services, and Exchange tracking logs.
EVT: Event messaging format from the Windows Event log, including system, application, security, and custom event logs, as well as from event log backup files.
FS: File information from the specified path, such as file size, creation time, and file attributes. It is similar to an advanced dir command.
CSV: Generic comma-separated value format.
TEXTWORD: Generic text format.
TEXTLINE: Generic text format.
Log Parser supports the following output formats:
W3C: Sends results to a W3C text file that contains headers and values that are separated by spaces.
IIS: Sends results to a text file with values separated by commas and spaces but no headers.
SQL: Sends results to a SQL table using the ODBC Bulk Add command.
CSV: Sends results to a text file. Following an optional header, values are separated by commas and optional spaces.
XML: Sends results to an XML-formatted text file. The XML file is structured as a sequence of ROW elements, each containing a sequence of FIELD elements.
TPL: Sends results to a text file formatted according to a user-specified template.
NAT: Used for viewing native results on a screen.
(It is COM-able too.)
