Definitely possible! I used to do this all the time when working from home, with CF on my home computer and the SQL Server databases at work.
There are not many tricks to it. Just make sure the database connection is set up right. I always used ODBC, but I don't think you have to. I used the ODBC control panel. I do remember a switch on the setup panel that let me use domain names or TCP ports to reference the database and sometimes it worked one way, sometimes it worked the other way. Whatever made the "test database connection" work right. Have fun!
