it doesnt appear to be that loop. it's the whole block the loop is in which won't end.

I've set RaiseError, I took agoth's advice, I have literally placed a print to a file bewteen every line of code. It still does not die. The program is sort of a wizard to take you through scheduling an appointment. The other screens come up, collect their info and, more importantly, gexit and send data to the user, with no problem. It's just this one screen. I took ALL the code out of the program except for this. I put all the code from the sub i had pulled in back into my custom module. It still does all the entries to the database correctly. All the testing prints work until the very last - the one right after the final disconnect from the database, but RaiseError doesn't complain.

I'm SO stumped.
