Heyy,Firstly, my apologies to the forum admin..... I needed this answered urgently.I followed the link given by Joachim Nasslander - Qbranch AB for finding the community of our choice,but it seems to move in a circle, with me ending up on the TechNet forum itself, which DOES NOT list Win 2K3 forum.I want a pdh.dll file that would work on a Windows Server 2003. I need to access some performance counters of a custom application, which can be seen in perfmon. They can be captured using ther APIs provided by Performance Data Helper. I tried to work around with WMI classes, but it just seems too complicated.Also, is there any other way to do this?Thanks and regards

Sorry for the late reply, I'm not normally on this group - I was checking for pdh.dll problems in another application.According to this page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896266 it's part of the SP2 installed files. As it's definitely part of the server package, I expect it's somewhere in the i386 folder of the install disks for WS2003 - but most likely there's a copy in /WINNT/System32 folder.HTHCheers - Neil
