This should be a no-brainer.

I'm trying to create a trace on a table. I wanna know whenever someone reads or writes to my table.

On the "Events" tab, I selected "Object: Opened".

Then on the "Filters" tab, I selected "Object name: Like" and entered the name of my table.

I clicked "Run", then entered a query on my table in query analyzer.

Nothing.

What am I doing wrong?


Keep it simple.

You're not really doing anything wrong. Profiler sucks when you're trying to capture statements against one object. Make sure you limit events and the data columns to just what you need. Instead of using Object Name, use the Object ID. With SELECT OBJECT_ID('tablename'), you can find out what the ID is of the object. That's at least a little more accurate.
