There will be a standalone SQL Server database for membership data,

not only on the web (member-only areas, forums etc) but also for
desktop apps. Is it possible for FarCry to talk to the member database
directly, or will I have to import the records into FarCry's database
(and keep them synced externally)?
You have many options -- its a CF app after all :)
You could create a view in the database that looks like a FarCry user
directory, and hook it up as a userdirectory. Or you could write a
unique security interface for your database. Or synchronise the data
directly into the FarCry database. Or use the FarCry database for
authentication, store the PK for the member in the dmProfile object and
reference the external database as an extension of dmProfile. Or...
Best to define what you want the external db to provide the web site,
and how easy it is to access (ie. from the FarCry server) -- then we can
give you a clearer approach.
