    Thanks for the quick responses. What is a .sqlplan? Is it the estimated execution plan from ssms?

    The estimated plan could be saved as a .sqlplan just like the actual plan. For our purposes we would want to see the actual plan, not the estimated plan.

    Take a look at this article from Gail which explains how to find and post the execution plan.
