Hi Steve, To be honest these lines in application.cfm haven't changed in years
<cferror type="validation" exception="any" template="/errorDocs/appErrorHandler.cfm" /> <cferror type="request" exception="any" template="/errorDocs/appErrorHandler.cfm" /> <cferror type="exception" exception="any" template="/errorDocs/appErrorHandler.cfm" /> I suspect what's happened is I've only just noticed that errors caused like this <cfoutput>#</cfoutput> were slipping through the net I'm now thinking I need to read up on the difference between exception, request and validation errors. But for now I've set the default error page in the cfadmin to be appErrorHandler.cfm and that seems to be working just fine. But if anyone thinks I've missed something then I'd be ever so grateful to hear it :) Thank ever so much for your help chaps - really appreciate it.

You have just added request and validation to the mix and they have different rules. Nothing has changed, you are just expanding your horizons! :) Steve Sent from my iPhone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339893 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
