What is a VWL file?

VWL files mostly belong to Microsoft Access. VWL files are used as database containers that store log information. They often use an internal JetDB engine format.
These files are most commonly associated with Microsoft Access and can hold data for audit logs. For example, a Veeam audit log file is stored in the JetDB structure, allowing you to query and manage log data using Microsoft Access tools.
In some cases, VWL files serve as VisualWorks survey log files, which store survey responses or feedback logs.
Key details as outlined by FilExt.com include:

Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VWL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VWL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
