Ben, Thanks for the reply. I'm still having a little trouble.
I setup the class file (SelectState) with : Return Value as "Method Variable", returnValue, Array Parameters: in (StateID), out (StateName, StateAbbrev) I have a search action that executes properly and then a html action with the following code: <@assign method$State_Name "<@var local$resultSet[1,State_Name]>"> <@assign method$State_Abbrev "<@var local$resultSet[1,State_Abbrev]>"> <@assign method$returnValue[1,1] "<@var method$State_Name>"> <@assign method$returnValue[1,2] "<@var method$State_Abbrev>"> I taking one step at a time to debug, so I call the object with the following: <@CALLMETHOD domain$Common "SelectState(<@var user$ArgBillToState>)" ENCODING=NONE> but I get the following error: [Search Action] [333] SearchState [Query] [333] SELECT S1.State_Name,S1.State_Abbrev FROM State S1 WHERE (S1.State_ID=1) [ActionResults] [350] Minnesota MN [Changed Vars] [366] method$returnValue[1,1]=Minnesota method$returnValue[1,2]=MN method$State_Abbrev=MN method$State_Name=Minnesota [Error] [366] -10 Invalid or empty variable name. [Error] [366] -800 An error occurred while preparing the parameters for this method invocation. [Error] [366] -806 An unspecified method call error occurred. SelectState [Error] [366] -801 An error occurred while invoking this method. SelectState Any ideas Thanks Steve -----Original Message----- From: Ben Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 1:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Class Files This got me for the longest time. the best way to think the "return variable" is it is defining the variable to use within the method. So within you method do a final assign to this variable -example- <@ASSIGN NAME="returnValue" VALUE="@@method$AttribValue[1,@@Method$Attribute]" SCOPE="method"> NOTE: change the type to match what your returning and when you call your method in the TAF do so within an -example- <@ASSIGN NAME="Protect" SCOPE="local" VALUE='<@CALLMETHOD OBJECT="OOobj" SCOPE="local" METHOD="GetStyle(@@local$StyVal,style:cell-protect)" METHODTYPE="invoke">'> Then just use the values in the newly assigned variable.

I assume within the class file I assign the "out" variables with a scope of "method". How do I read the variables coming out of the class file within the calling taf file? Is there something I am missing with the Return Value setting of "Method Variable"? Sorry for this question, I read the manual and it didn't make sense to me.
