Thanks for the update regarding the versions. Yes, we made many changes to the custom item methods during the 2006 release. They were certainly most reliable in the 2006.2.39 and 2006.2.40 releases. v2008 has some added benefits, but I'm not sure that they would be relevant here. Can you attach your free response html form and sample que file so I can test it out and see exactly what you mean?
