I see the product you mention and am sure its a worthy tool for deployment where the budget is available. I have taken the code from the article and created the objects concerned in my 'server statistics' database. I have then built two SSRS reports, based on the views created and i now have an easy to access (from anywhere on our WAN) method of seeing whats being changed on my databases. Total work time - maybe an hour in total (if i include the two posts here as well!!)

There's a place for quick and dirty solutions beside the paid-for third party tools.

thanks again for the article.
