cfupdate and SQL update looking for submit field!

Help! I've got a form that passes information to the DB for adding/updating events. When I submit for a new entry I have no problems. When I edit that same record I get an error: "The SUBMIT fieldname cannot be found in the event_table table." I've checked to make sure all fieldnames are legal and that MySQL fields aren't expecting max of say 4 chars but I'm submitting 8. Also checked I'm not sending mismatched data, like date to varchar type.

On the entry form, all my variables are set based on whether this is a add or update. I've tried both cfupdate (with and without formfields attribute) and cfquery and get the same error message. When I did cfdump I see all the variables I want in my form coming across. I even cfparam to make sure every checkbox and date and time are given default values.

My guess is a field is being skipped and therefore database is somehow thinking it should receive SUBMIT fieldname data even though I'm explicitly omitting it from any cfupdate or SQL update code.

Here is my entry form with extraneous formatting removed:

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. My apologies for the super long opening thread.
