Get return value from a stored procedure

I followed the documentation on stored procedures here and I'm able to get my stored procedure to run, but my return value is always 0. I've searched high and low for my problem but no one else seems...

What does you SP look like.  Your sp may actually be returning the result of 0.  It could be because you don't have nocount on or the like.  If you do, the sp returns two "datasets" and ADO picks up the first one which is just your result

 

Edit:  If this is the case, there are two options off the top of my head:

1. Add SET NOCOUNT ON and off to the SP

2. Allocate the output to a new recordset using sproc.NextRecordset() and use this for your checks/lookups etc.
