I surround every template with try catch and call a custom tag/module within the catch. The module serializes the session, cgi,url,form,request,error and client structs stuffs them in the error_log table and mails the designated admin a summary of the error and a hot link to the page that desirialzes all the stucts and dumps them to screen. The modulue then displays some generic message to the user. It eliminates the need for the user to take action. The only information missing is the variables scope. If you needed that you could handle it on a page by page basis. °¿° ~ Don Vawter
