Ed, In addition to the possibilities already cited, the problem could be a Range Check Error. Is range checking on or off in your compiled app?
Range check errors are especially difficult to spot, because they only occur when a piece of data exceeds allotted limits (e.g. trying to put 85 characters into an 80-char Alpha field). Here are some suggestions along this line: 1) Make sure Range Checking is on when you compile. 2) When you are testing, if you have error-handling installed, turn it off so that the error message goes directly to your test browser. 3) Run uncompiled on the live site, and see if the errors still occur. (Yes, I know: "everyone" says you should never run a live site uncompiled. But I have found that running uncompiled is sometimes absolutely necessary - such as with problems like yours.)
