I think I understand what you want to do... maybe.  Try changing mv_click 
to mv_check - this will cause [set update_database][/set] to be processed 
*after* the session has been updated from the submit.  Also, you might want 
to use $CGI->{} instead of $Values->{}, just to be sure you are getting the 
data from the most recent form submission.  I think mv_check happens after 
$CGI data gets copied to $Values, but I am not 100% on that...
