>Ahh - OK. I'm with you now. All stored procedures return an integer that represents the status of the call. It's not really one of the parameters to your stored procedure although if you're going to call the proc with ADO, you will have to pass an extra parameter to receive the return code.

Thanks Mike,
That helps. Its not really documented well in BOL, but its pretty easy to guess what it is by the name.

Its odd. In ADO.NET sometimes I have to pass the return parameter and sometimes I don't. I'll have to look into the details of how I am calling it to see what the difference is.
