It looks like vartype() can not be used because Notes will return an object reference even if the item doesn't exist. It's not a NULL reference, it's just empty. Use type("DomItem.Name") = "C" to check if GetFirstItem returned a valid object.

Also, I had a typo in what I previously posted on this subject. It's DomItem.Values(0) not DomItem.Value(0).
