I am running some traces on our server for tuning purposes and also checking for slow/bad queries and just had a thought!

Some of our people use MS Access as a 'front end' to do their querying against the server, would the queries run by this method be included in the traces output? - would they get analysed as well?
I ask this because it will have an impact when i run them through the database tuner.

Thanks

Yes, because access will pass the queries to SQl server through the ODBC driver. The ODBC driver will translate them to T-SQL (although will probably do an awful job on most).
