Microsoft Access: Command() doesn’t return command-line text

I wrote this plea for help for a project I’m working on. I can’t get the command line option to pass into Access correctly.  I use Command() to try to access the options, but get Null.
UPDATE:

Turns out that the Microsoft Access wizard for creating switchboards creates a field called [Command]. Bad practice! Don’t use reserved words for field names! So, in referring to Command(), I was actually getting [Command]. By qualifying the statement as Interaction.Command I was able to get the command-line. Whew.

So, apparently the fellow that wrote the switchboard never tried to read command-line entries and the guy that wrote the  command-line entry code never used a switchboard!

I’m looking for a way to grab syndicated content with my ASP scripts. Of course, most of the examples are in VBScript instead of JScript, so I’ve bee looking around for a JScript example. This might be what I’m looking for…
