Well... some of it maybe solved.... when I created the new global template, I didn't include the same references that my normal.dotm had on it. I have added those, and I have now been able to get farther into the application before. I did receive the same error message pertaining to a different module than before though. This leads me to believe that I may have an issue with normal.yadada still residing somewhere inside that module, which I will look into.....
