Cold Fusion & Microsoft Access?

[Feng Shan]

Kind of very interesting software. we are looking for something that can
put our local database onto the web and be searchable. Is this the
right thing? I have it currently on FoxPro, but I can always transfer it
to MS Access first if needed to. And what is the price of the product?
