Your BTW hit the spot! One of my data environments did not have a supporting table linked in. The default path was to look in the data folder. Since I renamed the data folder to data2003, my supporting table could not be found in the default path. I added the supporting table to the data environment and all seems to work now.

Thanks so much for your help!
