can anyone give me a link to something to show me how to debug stored procedures?
is there a way to put an alert or something to see why values I think should happen are not happening

Here is a link about debugging using Visual Studio. http://www.sqlteam.com/article/debugging-stored-procedures-in-visual-studio-2005

SQL 2008 has debugging capabilities built into SSMS.

Usually, I find the debugging tools for SQL queries less useful than, for example for C# programs. This is partly because the debugging tools are not as advanced, and partly because of the nature of the SQL queries which are mostly set-based queries that do not lend themselves to stepping through line by line.

you can use PRINT or SELECT to display intermediate values in procedures for debugging.
