Compuware DevPartner community edtion, used to be free although it now has a 45 day trial, should work. It's a bit of a pig to get working and stuff runs really really slowly but you get lots of pretty pictures and info on where the code in spending time.John

ok i had a look on the microsoft website, eventually foudn a post by someone at microsoft saying that there wasn't a profiler built in , but a community partner produces a free one. Unhelpfully, it says to find it via webwearch.

Agree with you totally, there should be one, They dropped it somewhere between VS 6 and 2003 and I think did so on the basis that there was a free versoin of the compuware one that was better than the old VS 6 version, however compuware now seem to be charging. Found myself in the same boat a few months ago and it was still free. I think they may have started charging now 2003 in now no longer the latest realeased version.John
