All, i've been struggling with the enhanced system tester for a while now. My most recent hurdle is to copy data over from the ST_data.mdb file into Excel to allow a deeper analysis as compared to what what EST reports out (Why is the reporting functionality in EST so poor?).

Well, i was able to open the mdb file using microsoft access. The data is organized into several related tables, and it is possible to copy/paste most of the relevant data into excel. Except the SystemID field. Within Access tables, the system ID data shows up in curly braces, like this:

{EB3E487A-C6EE-4249-BEA1-0C42C67F525E}.

When the above is copied into Excel, it shows up as a question mark icon. Without this ID, i cannot sort / categorize the results appropriately. Any ideas on how to decode / reformat the system ID so that it can be successfully copied over into Excel?
