Cold Fusion & Microsoft Access?

[Frank Lin]

Hi all,
We have been using Cold Fusion for about a year now.  Personally I think it
is great.  It is easy to use (especially if your have an IT backgound) and
price is OK.  We have been hosting the local community library's directory
<http://library.macarthur.uws.edu.au/community/campbelltown/> with not
problems.


For people downunder, I just received this message reguarding Cold Fusion
Seminar just this moring (The University, Library and Information Services,
and I are not in anyway related to the company below - this is just FYI):
