Eric, that's a good point about 2000. Traces in SQL 2005 have been significantly improved in several ways including making them generally less expensive. I just assumed that we were talking about 2005 and I personally haven't worked with a 2000 instance for almost two years so I just don't think about it much anymore...my mistake.
