Error reported to webmaster, but page loads fine

[armack5]

I have an error handeler in the coldfusion administrator that will let me know
when an error is generated on any page on the server. If an error is thrown I
receive an email. The problem is that I am getting this email:

Diagnostics
Element THE_PASSWORD is undefined in FORM.
The error occurred on line 6

Now this is a very simple error, but the page that generates the error loads
fine, and the data from form.the_password is properly recorded in my database.
I can go to the page and process the page, then 2 minuts later get the error
(with my ipaddress I might add so I know its me doing it) I also added (for a
short time) a cfdump tag that dumped the whole form variable out, the_password
was there along with everything else. So I commented out the line of code that
contained a call the the_password, and the error occurred on the next line
down, it now said that form.email was undefined. And the page still ran just
fine.

Just today I moved my dbase up from access to ms sql, and this is the only
problem I have noticed so far.

Any ideas?

I had the same issue. It drove me nutty trying to figure it out because I was
getting messages saying there was an error, but I could never reprodcuce it. I
think I took the easy way out and added a CFPARAM at the top for the variable
that was causing the issue.

yea im afrade to do that because if the error realy did exist then i may send blank info to the d-base and not even know it
