Thank you for your help. Any chance you have a moment to help just a
little more? Here is what I did, but I still can't access the value
output by the stored proc...

I removed the Return @sRetUPC line. I am guessing that I can rely on
the set @sRetUPC line to set the value of the output parameter

>From there, I appended the parameters in the ASP code...like this
oSproc.Parameters.Append(oParam2)
oSproc.Parameters.Append(oParam1)
--originally I tried to do Param1 then Param2, but I got an error
about the parameter
--type being an output, so I just figured I had them in the wrong
order because the
--first parameter in the code was the output one.

Then, I added the line oSproc.Execute()
After that is:
Dim res
res = oSproc.Parameters.Item("sRetUPC").Value.toString()

This is not working. Do you know how I can get access to the value of
the parameter that is returned?
