ThickToast lets you view Basecamp data in an Access database

ThickToast lets you view Basecamp data in an Access database:

ThicktoastIt's a simple system to load your BaseCamp XML export/backup into an Access database. The software will load the Project information, replace all the Todo's and Milestones and append the Timesheet and Messages and handle all the other little tables correctly. Included with the software is a properly structured backend database, a compiled library file and a front-end database.

What's up with the different names ThickToast and DryToast? Garry Robinson writes:

ThickToast is the generic name for the software that I have created. What I am doing is breaking it down into bite size chunks because all at once is way too much. I will put a note on this on the web. DryToast is the base module, it loads the xml and provides some queries to show people how to join the tables and that’s it, we are aiming to make this as efficient as possible.
