how to display default page on error?

[dnstapes]

The way my ASP is set up right now, an error is generated if the database is missing certain pieces of data. Instead of displaying the generic error page that just states the line number where the error occured, I'd like to show a more user-friendly error page for the users of the webpages. Is there some kind of onError function? If so, how is it used?

Thanks

On Error Resume Next

will skip over any errors that occur;

usage:
assume con is a connection object, and sqlstr is a sql string

function myfunction()
on error resume next
con.execute(sqlstring)

'Err _is_ case sensitive... cannot be err
if Err.number <> 0 then
Err.clear
Response.redirect(&quot;myerrpage.asp&quot
end if
end function

you can put on error resume next at the top of your pages, if you'd like, and that will do error checking for the entire page.

There's more info on it at the MS site
