might need to specify an "mv_data_table" setting.  I ran into some 
trouble integrating a few standard pages into MV (3.14 for a computer 
game run with MV) and I found that usually if I looked at the code at 
the top of the pages, I could figure out what the page needed to load.

Mv_Data_Table needed to be set (in my install) the table's name for the 
record (or insert) to load properly.

Just a shot in the dark,
