Right, I said I’d get back to you on this one and I here I am. The HoMedics MiBody Body Management software uses an mdb (Microsoft Access) file in which it stores your personal data… two things you need to know about this:
(1) On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, the shm.mdb file in your program files directory does not contain the data you need.. instead, take a look in C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\HoMedics Mibody\shm.mdb – note that you may not have the (x86) part of the path name if you are running 32-bit Windows… what? you’re not running 64-bit? Shame on you…
(2) shm.mdb is password protected, so as of version SE1.2 the password is 83111425397411318715
You can also use the ‘Output Data’ feature of the software to backup your data to wherever you want, and use the above password to open that database file. You’ll notice that there are several tables, labelled Table1 through to Table12. Each table stores the data for the relevant user number on the scales. You can then feel free to export the data to Excel and produce some nice fancy graphs as you please… enjoy!
