information on our site. We have implemented a product called Cold Fusion from Allaire.com It accesses any ODBC database, allows for form input, modification and extremely fast output. Currently www.propertyline.com is utilizing access 7.0 relational data structures to distribute large amounts of commercial real estate info to it's subscribers. Cold Fusion 1.o is effiicient using CGI calls, however Cold Fusion 2.0 utilizes API's and it is extraordinary. The previous webmaster Jim Petrosino, put all of its current technology in place and was one of the controlled beta testers for Cold Fusion. If you are looking at implementing large structures into your website, I highly recommend this product.
