One: your [set Save_database] will only call [userdb save] if mv_todo is 
not equal to 'submit'.  Your submit button sets mv_todo to 'submit'.  Looks 
like that could be a problem which might cause [userdb save] to never be 
invoked.  I would remove [if cgi mv_todo ne submit] and the corresponding 
closing [/if] and give it a try.
