Thanks for the row_array tip and all your suggestions ... but unfortunately the issue remains.
I am definitely in the right block -- which I've confirmed by adding 'echo's.
I tried your new code ... unfortunately the result yields no difference.

<li><label for="Company">Company:</label>
<input type="text" name="Company" value="
<div style="border:1px solid #990000;padding-left:20px;margin:0 0 10px 0;">
<h4>A PHP Error was encountered</h4>
<p>Severity: Notice</p>
<p>Message: Undefined variable: Company</p>
<p>Filename: views/creditor_edit_view.php</p>
<p>Line Number: 59</p>
</div>Test Company Name" /></li>

You can see that the <div> is being injected inside the value ... instead of the result of the set_value command (here "Test Company Name").
