FDB is the database not "Data Files"
You'll have to install a copy of the Nav client to open the database & from there you can access the data files.
how do i access the data to then convert it to excel? what tool can i use?
There are many ways..
If the table isn't too big you can copy & paste it.
For larger tables you can create dataports to export the data to csv or txt files.Then you can open those files in excel.
There are XML poerts too.. On the product cd these is a PDF called w1w1adg.pdf. It's the application designers guide that gwill help you.
You can backup and restore it onto a SQL server. From there, you can pretty much do anything you want.
I tried doing that but it didn't work; are their some tricks to handle that process?

try this PDF: w1w1isql.pdf
And this:
w1w1ism.pdf
will this work with version 1.8 of navision? it looks like it is for v5.0?
What do you have there? Navision Financials? Do you have the original Product CD?
Do you just have a FDB file and is this version still being used by your company?
Do you have a client installed anywhere? can you open the database?
If you're not using this software anymore then how old is this information?
Is it even worth retrieving?
Version 2.6 came out in 1999..I can't even find info on a verison 1.8.
As for it being 5.0 the steps I would "assume" are basically the same. I would think you need an older version of SQL too..not 2005 or 2008
