THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You saved my butt...I didn't know about the Helm error settings and it works. Now, hehe, for question 2.
What cgi variable can I use in IIS that shows me the page they are trying to get to so I can change it from "page-not-found.htm" to "page-not-found.cfm" instead of shooting All the errors to index.cfm? Damn you guys are good!

That feature was designed for users to have pretty "page not found" messages, but could equally be used for redirecting users to another page. Maybe they have something similar where you are? If they have the HELM control panel it's a standard feature in the advanced setup.
