I don't think that's true, actually. It'll catch ANY error; once it has run, the error will be reraised and the normal path of error processing will continue. I don't use it much, myself; I think the point of it is to allow you to debug errors when you've already put error handling (site-wide error handler, CFERROR, CFTRY/CFCATCH) in your code. > I was asking if it works (once called) like other CF > templates? Yes, more or less. Within the error handler, you'll have a set of variables that come from the error or exception that occurred. You can place any CFML code you want within the error handler. This is also true for error handlers invoked with CFERROR TYPE="EXCEPTION". For CFERROR types VALIDATION and REQUEST, you can only reference the appropriate Error scope, and you can't have any CFML tags or functions within your code.
