Logging stored procedure use with MSDE (2000)

I have a app connected to MSDE that creates a report. The DB has over 300
stored procedures, with various args. I'm 9.9% sure the report must call a
SP. Can I somehow start a trace or log and have MSDE capture everything?
I'm hoping this way, I can discover the SP being run, along with the args.
I need to be able to run the report from the command line to get the output
into VBScript. (I know how to run a SP from VBScript, and massaging the
output shouldn't be a problem.)

You should be able to capture this using a server-side trace. Read about Profiler in Books Online,
and also read about, for instance sp_trace_create (etc).

Am just using MSDE which doesn't seem to have Profiler. Looking in to
sp_trace_create.
Thanks.
|||I just replied to your other post. Try to get hold of a "full" SQL Server, if only for a minute, and
script a trace from there. Here's an example, btw:
