1.  We currently use Homesite, Coldfusion Studio and Coldfusion server 4.5.


2.  Access 2000 and we're running Microsoft's IIS server. 

3.  The transition of our static web site to CF was surprisingly fast.
Loading the CF server on top of IIS took less than hour and the CF tutorial
took a week, if that much.  By the end of the following week we had a web
page the was able to dyanmically display, sort and search a simple
electronic journal database.  Our own systems staff runs the IIS and CF
server and if your staff is comfortable running Microsoft's IIS server then
CF server is a piece of cake.

4.  We use it to generate various dynamic web pages for electronic journals,
databases, local health related information.  It also helped streamlined our
editing and web creation process.  We were able to divide our pages into
seperate header and footer information so that the main the effort in web
page development is concentrated in content creation.  

	Overall we are very please with CF.  We can spend more time with
"what we want to do" than with "what we can do".  I hope I don't sound like
a ad.

My library is seriously considering moving to ColdFusion, and I am
collecting information to bring to the Web committee.  If your institution
uses ColdFusion, I'd appreciate if you
