The next step is for me to get values back from my SP. I moved the variables into the SP call: ALTER PROCEDURE USP_MinMaxPKID @TblName varchar(50), @MinPKID int output, @MaxPKID int OUTPUT other than that I left the code inside the same. I did add a print statement AFTER the sp_executesql line to allow me to see that I am getting the values back from sp_executesql Print 'MinPK=' + cast(@MinPK as varchar) I also copied the entire block to do the MAX() at the same time. I am getting the values returned and placed into the output parameters in the SP function definition. Very Cool! Thanks Asger! And they are printing correctly to the message screen. What I need now is to get them back out of my SP. Up in the query window I am using for testing this I dimension two variables: declare @MinPKID int declare @MaxPKID int I then call my SP exec USP_MinMaxPKID 'vRawAccuzipOut', @MinPKID, @MaxPKID I then print the variables in the query window to see if I got anything, using the exact same syntax I used inside of the SP. Print 'MinPK=' + cast(@MinPK as varchar) Up at the calling query level I get nothing, literally (AFAICT) a null value returned which when appended with the rest of the string to print, causes the whole string to be null and nothing but a CRLF prints. So... am I allowed to do this kind of thing in the query window? Dimension a variable, pass it in to a SP which is supposed to return a value, then print the variable on the next line? I have never tried this before but "it ain't happening". I DO still see the print statements inside of the SP print the valid values, so I know that the variables are being set inside of the SP, but nothing is "getting back out" of the SP.
