|||Microsoft doesn't provide a tool for reading the transaction log files, but
you might want to look at Lumigent Log Explorer (www.lumigent.com) or Log
P.I. (www.logpi.com).

Just for completeness, there are a couple more-
Log PI
(http://www.logpi.com/)
Log Navigator

Personally I have used Log Explorer quite happily.
