We have a user database that we do our work from on our Intranet, using Cold
Fusion, of about 24,000 clients and a further 8,000 distributors. The old
admin system used Access and it bogs on the the big databases. My Cold
Fusion side uses SQL and it flies along, a much better choice for big numbers.
You have to use an HTML editor that understands .cfm files, HotDog is OK, it
ignores the <CF...> tags, HomeSite is much better, it has the knowlege built
in, I've got it open right now doing some editing.

Sorry, our site is all an Intranet, not visible from the outside. Allaire's
site has some links to good Cold Fusion driven sites around the world, try them.
