Use an instance of MSXML.DOMDocument to load your stylesheet. 

set objDOM=CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument") 
objDOM.async=false 
objDOM.load styleFile 

then select the node and set the value 

set paramNode=objDOM.selectSingleNode("//xsl:param[@name='reason']") 
paramNode.text = reason 

You will then need to apply this to your xml file - use TransformNode on another instance of MSXML.DOMDocument loaded with your xml, passing the objDOM as the parameter. 

Hope this helps
