Hi, you may run Profiler to trace long running queries and then try to improve on it by examining Execution Plan wether it use correct index or not. Refer http://www.sql-server-performance.com/tips_performance.asp and http://www.sql-server-performance.com/sql_server_performance_audit.asp and http://www.sql-server-performance.com/best_sql_server_performance_tips.asp Regards Hemantgiri S.
