Output from stored procedure

How can I use output from a stored procedure in VBA coding?

The VBA coding calls a stored procedure to add a new customer by passing all of the relevant fields except the new customer ID.  The stored Proc has a transaction that determines the next ID and then inserts the customer using that ID before committing.

The ID is returned as a declared output parameter and the return code is set to 0 for success, 4 for failed insert.

I need to
1. determine if the insert was successful from the return code
2. Fill in the form with the new customer ID.

But I cannot find it in the querydef properties.


Private Sub SaveNewCustomer()
' use stored proc to save the newcustomer v9_5_2
' Transaction determines the next Cust Id number and saves before committing
  Dim parm As String
  Dim db As DAO.Database
  Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
  Dim qspt As String
  Dim msg As String
  Dim msg2 As String
  Dim rst As Recordset
  Dim ReturnCode As Integer

' move the NewZealand street to the address field
  If Me.Country = "New Zealand" Then
    Me.Address = Me.NZ_Street
  End If
  
' build the parameters for the stored proc sp_new_customer
  parm = "NULL"                                   ' @ID
  parm = parm & ",'" & Me.FirstName & "'"        ' @FirstName

Have the sp return a recordset with the values you need.

Hi Pat
Within the MS access I can see that there is a qspt with the result I need.  But I just cannot find the right commands to make it available to the VBA code.

viewing the properties of qdf, there is an object with the name @ID but the value is not available

MSDN has an explanation, but I have not been able to work out how to use their explanation.  How embarrassing!
