Hi Thijs, No problem. I do stuff like that all the time - it drives my boss and my ex-wife crazy :-)
Here's another thought - are you using the <@GETPARAM> or <@SETPARAM> Metatags in your Methods? These have been found to be very buggy. As an alternative to the above, just use Method Scope variables because your input and output values for your Methods are actually handled as variables. So do like so: <@GETPARAM NAME=InputValue> can be subsituted with <@VAR method$InputValue> and <@SETPARAM NAME="SomeOutput" VALUE="Test"> can be subsituted with <@ASSIGN method$SomeOutput VALUE="Test"> Hope this helps.
