Profiler template has the wrong format

Hi, I would like to create a new SQL Server Profiler template based on an existing template. Since I'll be connecting to 2008 R2, I had to create C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\100\\Tools\\Profiler\\Templates\\Microsoft SQL Server\\1050 on my PC and copy in the contents of folder \\100. But when I try to create a new template based on an existing template such as TSQL_Duration, and click on the Events tab, I get "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\100\\Tools\\Profiler\\Templates\\Microsoft SQL Server\\1050\\TSQL_Duration.tdf has the wrong format. Do you want to delete this template?" Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks, Larry

Hi Larry, You say that you are connecting to 2008 R2, correct? What version is on your box?

Entering that command from within SSMS will give you the version of the instance you are connected to, not the version of SQL tools running on your PC. If you go to help and about on your PC what edition of SSMS does it show you have? I think the same box can be seen doing Help/About in profiler too.

Hi meltonda, When I do Help / About on my PC, I get Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 ) So, I guess this means I have SQL Server 2008 on my PC, but I'm trying to use SQL Profiler to monitor a 2008 R2 db. IS it ok to do this? I still have to check Jason's link. Thanks, Larry

I would not see why it should be a big deal. You might try patching SQL Server 2008 on your PC. They released SP2 on Aug 4, or you could apply SP1. SP2 can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=12548

Larry, I've had problems in the past when I tried to open a newer template in an older version. Start looking here ([ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188303.aspx][1]) and see what you can find. [1]: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188303.aspx
