Author Performance: Execution Plan ~ entry not in drop down list.

Hello,
I want to capture the texual form of execution plan when using the perfmon
utility. From what 've read I need to select the "Performance: Execution
Plan". Am unable to find this particluar entry. All the other SQLServer
related entries (from 'Access Methods' to 'User Settable') appear - but I
cannot see anything for Performance. Is there some setting/switch that needs
to be enabled before this entry appears?
Cheers!

You can't get that from Perfmon. You need to use Profiler for that.

PerfMon captures system and software performance data, but not execution
plans. Use Profiler and Query Analyzer instead.

Profiler: select Show Statistics Profile
QA: Run set statistics profile on and your query.

Are you talking about profiler.exe or perfmon.exe?
