title: "QueryParameters Element"
---


The QueryParameters element set the order in which parameters are substituted in a query. It is useful for queries to [OleDbDataSource](/words/sharepoint/oledbdatasource-element/), because they substitute parameters by order. Use parameter names defined in the Name element inside the [Parameters](/words/sharepoint/parameters-element/) element.

| Name | Cardinality | Has Children | Description |
| :- | :- | :- | :- |
| `Name` | `1-N` | No | Parameter name. It must match a parameter name defined in the [Parameters](/words/sharepoint/parameters-element/) element. |
