I'm not sure what version of CF you're running, however if its 7+ then I would look at moving over to Application.cfc, its far more comprehensive in a great many ways.
You can then use the onError() method to handle any exceptions thrown, it's quite a bit cleaner. Rob -----Original Message----- From: Michael E. Carluen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 October 2007 16:25 To: CF-Talk Subject: cferror wont fire on syntax problems I have the following catch-all cferror in place on my application.cfm: <cferror type="EXCEPTION" exception="any" template="/error/index.cfm" mailto="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <cferror type="REQUEST" template="/error/index.cfm" mailto="[EMAIL PROTECTED] "> However, If I run my test page with a bad cf syntax <cfoutput>#now(#</cfoutput>, it still displays the default error display thrown by CF, and not my specified template. Any ideas, suggestions anyone? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:291124 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
