I figured that the route to take would be something using one or both of
those. I'll start looking up cfcontent stuffs now, and I'll see if I can
find something that matches that in apache when I get home...
I can see that this project is going to be interestingly fun... 'P
Thanks!

One way would be to not use CF. You can use the authentication features of
your webserver to handle this. If you are on IIS there are environment
variables that you can use once the user has successfully authenticated.
They will tell you the user login ID and you can reference the DB from that.
You can also use cfcontent and store the JPG files out of the webroot.
Just a few ideas.
