Stored Procedure Won't List In 'Object Explorer' Window

I saved a stored procedure (see below) and I'm not seeing listed within the 'Databases' / 'Remote_Serials' (DB name) / 'Programmability' / 'Stored Procedures' folder within the 'Object Explorer' window.

I'm trying to perform a simple add-info-from-form-into-DB process.

Is it because of the way I put together the procedure? I have a feeling that it is (was going off a video demo, which created it within VB.NET 2008 Express, but I'm not able to connect to the DB from there; it says the file is open, when I completely closed out of SQL Management Studio Express).



Code Snippet
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.spInsertSerialInfo
@EmployeeID as nchar(10),
@First_Name as nvarchar(50),
@Last_Name as nvarchar(50),
@HAddress as nvarchar(50),
@City as nvarchar(30),
@HState as nvarchar(2),
@Zip as nvarchar(10),
@Phone_Home as nchar(15),
@Phone_Cell as nchar(15),
@Monitor1 as nvarchar(50),
@Monitor2 as nvarchar(50),
@PIX_ASA_Box as nvarchar(50),
@System_Case as nvarchar(50),
@Batt_APC as nvarchar(50),
@current_count as int OUTPUT

AS

INSERT RemSerials (EmployeeID,
First_Name,
Last_Name,
HAddress,
City,
HState,
Zip,
Phone_Home,
Phone_Cell,
Monitor1,
Monitor2,
PIX_ASA_Box,
System_Case,
Batt_APC)

VALUES (@EmployeeID,
@First_Name,
@Last_Name,
@HAddress,
@City,
@HState,
@Zip,
@Phone_Home,
@Phone_Cell,
@Monitor1,
@Monitor2,
@PIX_ASA_Box,
@System_Case,
@Batt_APC)

SELECT @current_count = Count(*) From RemSerials






When trying to access the stored procedure from VB.NET 2008 Express, it says, "Could not find stored procedure 'spInsertSerialInfo'."

I'm listing the code as below.



Code Snippet
cmd.CommandText = "spInsertSerialInfo"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Connection = con


cmd.Parameters.Add("@EmployeeID", SqlDbType.NChar, 10).Value = txtEmployeeID.Text





If I change the 'CommandType.StoreProcedure' to 'CommandType.Text' it seems to find it, but then I get another error saying that the @EmployeeID variable has already been delcared and that I need to have a unique variable.

Any help would be greatly apreciated
