customizing error messages

[namtax]

i have created a page called errorvalidation.cfm and added the code

<cferror type="exception" template="errorvalidation.cfm">

to my application file, so that if there is an error message my custom page will appear....this works fine if the error occurs on a page in the same folder as the application file, but if it occurs on a page in another folder...i get an error message stating that the template cannot be found, I have tried changing the way i input the location of my template.i.e

<cferror type="exception" template="C:\Inetpub\explained\errorvalidation.cfm">

but this doesnt work either..

anyone got any ideas??

thanks

I believe you can set a default coldfusion error template in CF admin.
