Why do you need to know this? If it is for debugging or something then
cfdump the error object you get in the catch and you'll see how things
are organized; you can extract useful stuff from it programmatically.
If you need this information for regular use of your application then
you should reconsider your situation... Throwing and catching exceptions
is not a good thing to do a whole lot of, and you're other "option"
looks like a non-starter.

Subject: Re: what function called it?
Hey All,
So here are the 2 things I've gleaned from Tom/Ben/Rick.....
1) Throw a custom exception and trap it with try/catch.
So I can trap an error, but what the heck would I be looking for in
that? I should mention I want to programmatically know which function
called another (not just see it on the screen).
2) Passing an arg into EVERY function that identifies the caller.
Whilst fairly bullet-proof I'd have to change EVERY function in the app
to do so.....not going to happen ;-)
Thanks guys
