You can either use the site-wide error handler, which is specified in the "Settings" page of the CF Administrator, or use the CFERROR tag in Application.cfm. In either case, you'll need to create an error handler page, which can show whatever you want to show - typically, you don't want to actually show the error message; you'd show a "warm, fuzzy" error message instead, within the look and feel of the rest of your site. If you use CFERROR with the TYPE="REQUEST" attribute to point to the error handler, your error handler page won't be able to contain any CFML tags or functions - you'll only be able to reference the variables within the Error scope. This is a very incomplete description of error handling; there's a lot to know about error handling. I'd recommend that you check out the CF documentation on it. Or, if you're interested, it's covered in much greater detail than this within the Macromedia "Advanced CF Development" course.
