Extract text from Sage 100 data files (M4T)
To convert M4T data files to another format, you need Sage 100 or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Temporary Data Table" file type, you need software like Sage 100 or a similar tool.
The .M4T file extension is primarily associated with Sage 100 (formerly MAS 90 and MAS 200), a widely used ERP system for accounting and business management. These files serve as temporary data tables or "work files" generated by the system's underlying ProvideX database engine. You will typically encounter them with names like SO_InvoiceDetailWrk...m4t after a system crash or failed report generation. Unlike standard documents, .M4T files are not designed for direct user access; they contain raw, often proprietary data formatted for the internal logic of Sage 100.
Because users often mistake them for media files (due to the similarity to M4A or M4V), a common point of friction is attempting to open them in media players like VLC, which will fail. The only reliable way to "convert" this data is to use the Sage 100 software itself to export the relevant tables to Excel or CSV. For orphaned files found on a hard drive, advanced users can try opening them with a text editor like Notepad++ to view the raw ASCII data, though formatting will be broken. In rare cases, this extension is linked to ViWI databases, but this is statistically unlikely for most users.
Convert.Guru analyzes your M4T file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FDB, TDB and OLM files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our M4T converter.
