Problem found and resolved.  I tried tweaking the SSI file that modifies
hidden fields to change the issue dispatching to my group and realized
that it still had the same error on the same SQL statement.  Obviously the
file I changed was not the one included in the file!  When I viewed the
source I realized it was including an obsolete file.

A while back I put many of the config files under a different RCS
repository.  I was tweaking the one in the repository which should have
been used via a symlink (a Unix shortcut, if you will.)  Once I fixed the
link to point to the file I really wanted, everything worked fine.

At the heart of the problem was the fact that my HTML had two hidden
fields with the same name.  One set a value and one didn't.  This is not
good HTML coding practice!  The new versions of the forms setup the hidden
fields with no values set and then the SSI uses JavaScript to setup the
values later on in the file.

Now you know, what happens to your SQL statement when you try to use the
values of two hidden fields with the same name.  Arg!

Thanks... now I need to research placeholders!
