Dan,

I will definitely take your advice on this!  Thanks!

Clearly the standard "or die" error handling isn't effective in cases 
where the syntax is correct, but the wrong query is being called in the 
code...especially in these cases where the queries are identical except 
for one variable value! -- logging which query is being called could 
save me hours of fun trying to overcome my own boneheadedness.
