Hello -

I used techniques from this site (http://vyaskn.tripod.com/server_side_tracing_in_sql_server.htm)
to create a server-side trace file. It worked great..as far as creating the file. But now I cannot open the file in the SQL Profiler...I get an Acess Denied message.

Has anyone see this before?

Thanks for any help

Denied access on files or sql instance that generated trace? Are files on sql server's local disk?

Yes. The files were generated by my local sql server....on my local disk drive.

you need to STOP the Tace to open it.. Else you are going to get Errors.
exec sp_trace_setstatus @traceid=1, @status=0 - STOP Trace
you need to Figure out the TRACE ID by
Select * from ::fn_trace_getinfo(DEFAULT)
exec sp_trace_setstatus @traceid=1, @status=2 - Delete trace

I actually did all of that, and still not working.

I will try another approach.

Thanks for the help.
