sql server profiler - how to get server response?

Question

I am investigating problem with third party application, from what I can see queries sent to sql look ok.

I am using SQL Server Profiler 2005 with Sql 2008 R2 database, I can see queries sent to database, is it possible to capture server response?

I had a look at events and columns in profiler, but I can't see anything what would contain that data.

Thank you for help

You can capture the network packets using Wireshark on port 1433 but the output will not be easily readable.

There is a sample on the wireshark web site, you can have a look at the contents using a text editor: http://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ms-sql-tds-rpc-requests.cap

It's much easier to replay the commands you see in SQL Server Profiler if possible.
