Hi Sergey,
Thanks for the tip. It *almost* works. The proc executes ok but the return value is odd. Below is what I ran and the results.

A possible problem is that I'm running this against Sybase 12.5 instead of MS SQL Server and I've found Sybase to be a little flaky sometimes. I'll run this against MS SQL Server as soon as I can. Thanks again.

Gary

*-- VFP Code
LOCAL nRetVal
LOCAL cName

nRetVal = 0
? SQLEXEC(nConnection,[{?@nRetVal=call test1 ?cName}]) && Returns 1
? nRetVal && Returns 3.92438E-308

*-- Stripped down version of the proc and call
? SQLEXEC(nConnection,[{?@nRetVal=call test2}]) && Returns 1
? nRetVal && Returns 4.06272E-308

***********************************
CREATE PROCEDURE test1
@cName CHAR (8)
AS
BEGIN
if @cName = 'Gary'
return 123
else
return 321
END

**********************************

CREATE PROCEDURE test2
AS
return 123
