Using and updating SQL data in Access forms

Okay, another SQL in Access question.

I am bringing in a SQL stored proc as a recordset that I then want to be able to edit.  I am not saying it has to update the SQL directly, I have no problem calling a second proc on update of the fields, but I currently cannot change the fields, and I get a beep when I try.  

Here is the code:

    Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim strSQL As String
    Dim frm As Form
    Dim ProjectID As String
    ProjectID = Forms!frmMain.cboProject

    Set conn = SQLConnection()
    conn.Open
    rs.CursorLocation = adOpenKeyset
    strSQL = "EXEC Ren.up_JobCrewSelect @BusinessUnit='" & ProjectID & "'"

    rs.Open strSQL, conn

    If Not (rs.BOF And rs.EOF) Then
        Set Me.Recordset = rs
    Else

    End If

    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    conn.Close

I thought it might be the parameters on the recordset.open, and I added adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic and one point, but I cannot seem to find the combination.  I appreciate any help you can offer.

Also, if my whole plan here is not the best direction, please feel free to say so and recommend a better path.  Thanks!

Thanks!

Would it make any sense to use the stored proc to load a local table, do the work there and update back to SQL, or am I insane?  I am just trying to minimize the amount of data and calculating in Access to keep things fast and secure.  I have noticed that sometimes it seems like iffy Access programming in Access with linked SQL tables can lead to Async Network IO issues, and I want to minimize that if at all possible.

As a follow up, the passed T-SQL statement would just be moving what code is in the stored proc into the VB in Access correct?  I have both a concern adn a question about that.  First, I am trying to keep SQL code out of Access since I have users who dig into Access and I am trying to keep some security around our SQL data, hence my plan for the stored proc.  Second, if I were to simply replace the proc with the T-SQL, would that allow updating of the form?
I'll fully respond to the above questions later today, as I have to take off to meet with a client.

Thanks for the grade.
