  Hello,

  Does anyone know how I might trace the source of a query in SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition? I'm trying to find out the source a query against data on our system.

  I have a database in Simple recovery model, and auditing is not turned on, and no profile trace was running. Basically, I think I'm out of luck on this one.

  But my questions are:

  1. Is there any way I might be able to see who ran a query and when?

  2. What can I do going forward to best track activity?

  Thanks for any help,

  I use profiler or system sprocs to trace those kinds of activities.:hehe:
