What tool are you using? The DTS Import / Export Wizard or SSIS? From which Server are you initiating the move, 2000 or 2005?

Jason,

I'm so glad you figured it out. I was at a loss myself.

Was this particular DB an upgraded one or a fresh install? If upgraded, probably...

Joel,

I honestly didn't check. I just ran a normal tuning Profiler trace against our production DB during business hours and then ran the DTA against that. I wasn't...

I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to check and see if there is a difference. @=)

I'm going to do some playing around and see if I can replicate what's...

I take it you're creating these with the CREATE PROCEDURE statement instead of using a template or right-clicking the Stored Procedure folder and choosing new?

You never said what your job title is or what the job description is, so your comment about "proving yourself as a good DBA" is a little vague.
