Select For Cursor Returns 0 Same Select Highlighted Returns 2,000+

Grrr!
I'm trying to run a script:
print 'Declaring cursor'
declare cInv cursor forward_only static for
select
distinct
inv.company,
inv.contact,
inv.address1,
inv.city,
inv.state,
inv.postalcode,
inv.cmcompanyid
from
dedupe.dbo.ln_invoice as inv
left join
dedupe.dbo.customerid as cid
on
dbo.fnCleanString(inv.company) = cid.searchco
where
((inv.customerid is null
and cid.searchco is null)
and (inv.date >= '01/01/2003' or (inv.date < '01/01/2003' and
inv.outstanding > 0.01))
and not inv.company is null)
print 'Cursor declared'
declare
@contact varchar(75),
@company varchar(50),
@address1 varchar(75),
@city varchar(30),
@state varchar(20),
@zip varchar(10),
@cmcompanyid varchar(32),
@iCount int,
@FetchString varchar(512)

open cInv
print 'cursor opened'
fetch cInv into
@company,@contact,@address1,@city,@state,@zip,@cmc ompanyid
print 'Cursor fetched @@Cursor_rows = ' + cast(@@cursor_rows as
varchar(5))

All the prints are there to help me figure out what's going on!
When I get to the Print 'Cursor fetched @@cursor_rows....
the value is 0 and the script skips down to the close and deallocate.
BUT, if I just highlight the Select...When section, I get over 2,000
rows. What am I missing?
Thanks.
