Thanks for the tip! I imported data from the UserConfig table onto a 
second sheet and then added a VLOOKUP to a column on the first sheet to 
look up the user names.

No problems.
 
There is a bit of manual work to be done to actually track where the 
device is on the planet, but here are the steps I took. I'm also using 
Excel 2010.
 
Open Excel
Click on the Data tab in the Ribbon
Click From other sources - From SQL Server
Enter in your SQL server name and credentials if required, click Next
Select your BlackBerry database
Choose the SyncLBS table, click Next
Click next then finish
 
This should give you the following (generic details in the table):
 

Id
UserConfigId
RecordType
RecordTimestamp
ServerTime
Latitude
Longitude
Altitude
DeviceStatus

UserConfigID is the UserID on the BES server, I’ve only done manual match 
ups here.
 
The Latitude and Longitude are strings, you’ll need to enter decimal 
points manually.
 
You can then use www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com to locate the device on 
the planet.
 
I’m still working on how to better match the UserConfigID with the real 
user account name, and a better method of displaying latitude and 
longitude.

You can use Excel 2003/2007 and use the OBDC connection to SQL and perform 
your query that way. I do believe it works the same in MYSQL as SQL.
