Pooling Counters in Perfmon

Our web app is throwing errors that appear to be associated with
connection pooling. I found the tab in the ODBC manager to turn on
perfom counters and I added the counters on both the web and SQL
servers. However, they aren't incrementing... absolutely nothing is
happening with them. Any suggestions as to what I might need to do?

Thanks,

CGW

Ah, the perf counters for SQL Server are implemented by the SqlClient .NET
data provider. Why are you using ODBC--AFAIK it does not support counters.
Which (specifically) counters are you using?
