Re: Return value from Stored Procedure

1. When you execute a query in Query Analyzer, did you ever notice those "x
rows affected" messages? Well, it's not just QA that those messages get
delivered to. They get returned to ADO as recordsets ...
2. SQL Server does not return the output or return parameter values until
all recordsets generated by the procedure are consumed

Setting NOCOUNT to off prevents those extra resultsets from being generated
and returned.

You need to add "SET NOCOUNT ON" to this procedure - right here as a
matter of fact.
