Are you speaking from experience or just from what Allaire officially recommends?
As others have suggested, Access works great for smaller sites, especially when it's
mostly read-only. I have a server that gets several million CF page views per month
which hit various Access data sources. No issues (except bad coding). As Howard
says, the right tool for the right job. In over 4 years working with CF and Access,
I've actually never seen an Access DB cause problems (except for some MDAC memory
leaks back in the day). For a while I actually had an large Access-based extranet app
in production (that had a ton of read/write going on) being used by over 100 people
all day long for about a month. Despite my warnings to the client that the DB might
"blow up at any moment," it never did (we later migrated it to SQL Server).
Cheers,
