# Replay a Single Event at a Time (SQL Server Profiler)
  This topic describes how to replay one event at a time in a replay trace file or table by using [!INCLUDE[ssSqlProfiler](../../includes/sssqlprofiler-md.md)].  
  
### To replay a single event at a time  
  
1.  Open the trace file or trace table you want to replay. For more information, see [Open a Trace File (SQL Server Profiler)](../../tools/sql-server-profiler/open-a-trace-file-sql-server-profiler.md) or [Open a Trace Table (SQL Server Profiler)](../../tools/sql-server-profiler/open-a-trace-table-sql-server-profiler.md).  
  
     Make sure that the trace file or table you open contains the event classes necessary for replay. For more information, see [Replay Requirements](../../tools/sql-server-profiler/replay-requirements.md).  
  
2.  On the **Replay** menu, click **Step**, and connect to the server instance where you want to replay the trace.  
  
3.  In the **Replay Configuration** dialog box, verify the settings, and then click **OK**. For more information about specifying settings on the **Replay Configuration** dialog box, see [Replay a Trace File (SQL Server Profiler)](../../tools/sql-server-profiler/replay-a-trace-file-sql-server-profiler.md) or [Replay a Trace Table (SQL Server Profiler)](../../tools/sql-server-profiler/replay-a-trace-table-sql-server-profiler.md).  
  
4.  To replay the first event, click **OK** in the **Replay Configuration** dialog box.  
  
5.  To replay subsequent events, on the **Replay** menu, click **Step**, or press F10. Repeat clicking **Step** or pressing F10 for each event.
