Ferg writes "Our SOX auditors want traces on all production servers (Win 2000, SQL 2000, SP3) monitoring failed logins and failed object access. We don't want them to have EM on their machines. Is there anyway to view the trace output without profiler."

You can dump the data into a table and then BCP it out... Then they can look at it in whatever they wish (MS Access, Excel, WordPad, ...)

And then you could have a trigger that adjusted it on INSERT, in case any of your own data was a bit suspect ...

You can also setup a trace to load the data into a SQL Server table directly, so that you do no have to load it from a file.

Or you could use good old fn_trace_gettable. Example select * from ::fn_trace_gettable('c:\my_trace.trc', default).

You could set that up as a query directly from whatever front end they like.
