I'm about to do an MSDN search but if someone happens to know and/or have installed it on XP I'd appreciate a tip!
Thanks
Joe

Profiler is not available for express.

You can get SQL Developer edition for around $50 which includes all the enterprise features, including profiler, and will install fine on XP.

I actually have an MSDN subscription so I'll try downloading the developer edition.

Thanks for the tip!

You can also use this for SQL Express

It's a 3rd party program, but it worked fine for me.

Thanks Graham.

I got the Developer edition installed and it seems to be working great on my XP Pro laptop. I haven't tried out Profiler yet but I'm sure I will.

I'll keep that 3rd party program in mind if any of my coworkers have express as well.

Thanks
