Logging use of stored procedures

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to log the use of stored procedures
in SQL 2000 (and later in SQL 2005)
We want to log every time if a user makes use of a stored procedure without
adding a entry in each Stored procedure.
Is this possible ? if yes, how ?
thanks,

then take a look at the results to see your procedure usage.

Look at Books on line under the path:
SQLServer Database Engine -> Administering the database Engine -> Monitoring
and Tuning for Performance -> Monitoring Events -> Introducing SQL Trace.
You should find it really interesting and may be a way to satisfy your
requirements

As others have pointed out, this IS possible using SQL trace or Profiler.
HOWEVER, it can potentially be very costly in terms of performance.
Just be aware.
