Look into Flash Projectors (Flash that runs standalone...no served up by a server).  The EXE file would be on the CD with perhaps an XML file for the data.  The CD would have to have a light install routine (probably just copy the XML file to the user's local file system).  The Flash app could then suck in data from the XML file and make changes..add new data....whatever.  When a net connection is detected the Flash App could prompt the user to syncronize the data (or do it transparently) with a live database.

I know it's not pure CF....but it should be doable.

What about Central...isn't it supposed to allow for online/offline functionality??

  All,

  I understand that a CF Application needs a Web server and an installation of
  CF.  However, has anyone every built a Cold Fusion application that resides
  on a CD?  Also, has anyone every built a CF app that would store data while
  off line (no network connection) and then update a datasource once the machine
  is connected/online again?

  Any comments are much appreciated.
