Can't remember, are you using IIS or Apache? I know that in Apache you can define an actual file for each specific server code. So you could have a 301.cfm which gets registered in the web server. That file gets triggered any time the server returns that error. I would assume that IIS has the same mechanism. Maybe that would work for you?

We have the 301 redirects in place so no 404 errors are thrown. When you type in an old URL your browser gets a 301, and send you on the correct new location. This is all good in my mind. But some powers that be, say "No, we must tell users they have been redirected" What I was hoping for, but I am getting discouraged on finding, is a simple trigger where I can simply add a message to the page say something like "You came from zzz which now lives at yyy, please update your information." when such a redirect occurs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:322212 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
