In sql server 2000, under current Activity I see alot of spids under Locks / ProcessID
In addition I see the names of alot of the databases under Locks / object

IS this a bad thing to see? Are these referring to locks? Do they need investigation.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

Depends. See what is being locked, what type of lock and what the spids are doing.
Every spid will have a lock on the datbase resource.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

unless you see a red mark or numbers appearing beside the process icons, or server is dead slow, timeouts reported, no need to be alarm, it is natural to see lots of processes especially if the server is shared by n-number of databases
