Hi
IS there a way to display the event Class in text rather than the event id's in the table.
Basically I am trying to copy the trace fiel to a table and the event class shows the event id's and not the actual text.
Thanks
KR

Not from the trace itself, as far as I know. What you can do is create a lookup table with the event ids and the text values, then join the lookup to the trace.

The event classes and their ids are defined in books online

Either join the sys.trace_events in 2005 or above or you can create the following temp table to join to.
