In a word, 'yes'.

What you do is establish an ODBC connection to the database. Then within the pages that you are accessing the dataase, you put cfml (that's coldfusion markup language) code to access and manipulate the data. For example:

<cfquery name="rsFullListing" 
    datasource=mydatasourcename
     username=myUserName 
	 password=myPassword>

SELECT last, first, office, phone, email FROM webventory ORDER BY LAST
</cfquery>

the above produces a record set which then is displayed using

<table>
<cfoutput query="rsFullListing"> 
    <tr bgcolor="lightgreen"> 
      <td>#rsFullListing.last#</td>
      <td>#rsFullListing.first#</td>
      <td>#rsFullListing.office#</td>
      <td>#rsFullListing.phone#</td>
      <td>#rsFullListing.email#</td>
    </tr>
</cfoutput> 
</table>

It gets a little ugly, but nothing that a old FoxPro coder can't deal with... :-)

>ColdFusion is one of the products I was looking at. I also looked some at ASP but that looked like it would be hard to manage in a large project. Does the data access part of ColdFusion have to be coded in the page like ASP?
