        Dim value As String

        If Iselement( Params( sParName ) ) = True Then

Example:

Notes Agent

(Option)

Use "ClassUrlParameter"

Sub Initialize

Dim session as New NotesSession
Dim docCont as NotesDocument

Set docCont = session.DocumentContext

Dim urlParameters As New ParseUrl( docCont.Query_String(0))

Dim sValue As String
sValue = urlParameters.getParameter( "" )

..........
' <Put here your script >
.........
.........

end Sub

If your Query_String is something like this
"OpenFrom&Cod=10&Tit=Pippo" sValue will be equal to "10".
