Thanks for the pointers. I was embarrassed by all the responses, and I probably shouldn't have posted it. All of the responses were helpful in making changes to the code, but they did not solve the problem.

I tried to find out what pseudo code was, but I think that that may have been some sort of insult.

I'll get around to updating this properly when I figure out what's going on.

Thanks again!
