I've been using Cold Fusion extensively for the last year. I am very VERY
happy with the product. Access data sources should be adequate to the task
as long as you are not expecting high, concurrent traffic, in which case you
need to use SQL server (regardless of whether you choose Cold Fusion, ASP,
etc).

My top three reasons are: great support-- you are buying a community of
developers when you buy CF (I've never had to pay for support), very rapid
development with easy syntax, efficient code with error messages that
actually tell you something (as compared to ASP). Oh, and the price is good.

No, I don't work for 'em.
