Barb, More than likely VB is spawning Crystal in a separate database session, therefore the alter session command will not work. You could have her start the report & then use top sessions to extract the sql and explain plan from the DB. Or you could extract the sql from the crystal report & go from there.

(No! ,you say. You're shocked!) The report has a visual basic front end. Our developer wants to set sql trace in the VB code. It's not working. When I tkprof her trace file, all that's in there is the "ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE TRUE" command. Is there some trick here? I don't know VB at all, so I don't know how to advise her. She looked on the Microsoft site, but it was not helpful. Thanks for any help!
