$100 USD To The Winner... Stored Procs, Temporary Tables And Cursors... Oh My!

I'm so desperate, I'll pay $100 to the proper solution to this problem. I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm wasting more money every day trying to figure it out...

I have a table with hierarchial data in it (see the bottom tabledef) and I need to query an "indented outline" of the records in it for a tree control on a website. To do that I have to perform some sort of recursive or nested query or I can do all that manipulation in a temporary table/cursor... However, even though the resultset will display when I check the query, when I try to open it using ADO, I get a recordcount of -1.... it's very frustrating and extremely important.

I'd rather pay an expert here than try to navigate a tech help line.

ConnIS is defined in an earlier include file...

Set oCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set oCmd.ActiveConnection = ConnIS
oCmd.CommandText = "dbo.Expandset" 'Name of SP
oCmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc 'ADO constant for 4
Set oTmp = oCmd.CreateParameter("@current", adInteger, adParamInput,, 892)
oCmd.Parameters.Append oTmp
Set oRs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oRs.Open oCmd
Response.Write oRs.RecordCount & "<hr>"
oRs.Close
Set oRs=Nothing


This code generates the following result when run from an active server page:

-1<hr>

When I execute the raw SQL code ("exec Expandset 892") against the stored proc in the query analyzer, I get:

item tier
----------- -----------
892 1
948 2
895 2
946 2
945 2
893 2
894 3
944 2
943 2
904 2
896 3
897 4
901 2
903 3
902 3
900 2
947 2
899 2

The source for the stored proc is:
------------------------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE Expandset (@current int) as
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @level int, @line char(20)
CREATE TABLE #stack (item int, tier int)
CREATE TABLE #output (item int, tier int)
INSERT INTO #stack VALUES (@current, 1)
SELECT @level = 1
WHILE @level > 0
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #stack WHERE tier = @level)
BEGIN
SELECT @current = item
FROM #stack
WHERE tier = @level
SELECT @line = space(@level - 1) + convert(varchar,@current)
INSERT INTO #output (item, tier) values (@current, @level)
DELETE FROM #stack
WHERE tier = @level
AND item = @current
INSERT #stack
SELECT ID, @level + 1
FROM SITE_Container
WHERE parent = @current
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
SELECT @level = @level + 1
END
ELSE
SELECT @level = @level - 1
END
SELECT O.item, O.tier FROM #output O
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The relevant portions of the Table definitions for SITE_Container are:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SITE_Container] (
[ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[Parent] [int] NULL)
