MaroRead about "OUTPUT paramaters"|||I think the easiest way for you to get the value you're looking for, would be to capture the output results of your function to a dataset and then set the value of your label or textbox to an item in the dataset.

Dim myDataset As New Dataset()
myDataset.Datasource = yourFunctionName(parms)

Label1.text = myDataset.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("myColumnHeaderName")|||Thanks that is what I need
