@@Rowcount or output parameters error

I have the following stored procedure working with an Access 2000 front end. The output parameters returned to Access are both Null when the record is successfully updated (ie when @.@.Rowcount = 1), but the correct parameters are returned when the update fails. I'm a bit new to using output parameters, but I have them working perfectly with an insert sproc, and they look basically the same. What bonehead error have I made here? The fact that the record is updated indicates to me that the Commit Trans line is being executed, so why aren't the 2 output parameters set?

TIA

EDIT: Solved, sort of. I found that dropping the "@.ResNum +" from "@.ResNum + ' Updated'" resolved the problem (@.ResNum is an input parameter). This implies that the variable lost its value between the SQL statement and the If/Then, since the SQL correctly updates only the appropriate record from the WHERE clause. Is this supposed to happen? I looked in BOL, and if it's addressed there I missed it.

CREATE PROCEDURE [procResUpdate]

Various input parameters here,

@.RetCode as int Output, @.RetResNum as nvarchar(15) Output

AS

Declare @.RowCounter int

Begin Tran

UPDATE tblReservations
SET Various set statements here, LastModified = @.LastModified + 1
WHERE ResNum = @.ResNum AND LastModified = @.LastModified

SELECT @.RowCounter = @.@.ROWCOUNT

If @.RowCounter = 1
Begin
Commit Tran
Select @.RetCode = 1
Select @.RetResNum = @.ResNum + ' Updated'
End
Else
Begin
Rollback Tran
Select @.RetCode = 0
Select @.RetResNum = 'Update Failed'
End
GOPost the complete DDL for the proc (including @.ResNum) and a sample of calling it that produces the problem you describe.

and the VBA that calls it. The 2 highlighted lines will be null if the "@.ResNum + " is included. Otherwise, it runs fine.

Select @.RetResNum = @.ResNum + ' Update Failed'

I assumed it would concatenate the two values. If I create a new varchar variable and populate it with the value of @.ResNum (converted to varchar) and use that, everything works fine. What threw me was that not only was that return parameter null, but the other one was too.
