C&P is bad news. I would not use any of that company's products if you can
help it. I have had to work with it as an IT Manager at an Ad Agency and it
was horrible. It is very expensive, and they tend to lock you into the
product with very few exit paths back out. It's buggy as hell, and they are
always tinkering with adding un-needed functionality while neglecting basic
core functions. I cannot count the number of times all client billings and
invoicing came to a halt because of some problem with C&P.
I never tried to get it to work with CF, thought I did call the company once
to see if they could supply me with a ODBC driver for their DB format. The
answer at that time was no, but if they now have a "SQL version", then I
guess that may have changed.
I would suggest dumping it entirely. Take the data you can out of it, and
chuck C&P out the window... Buy a different solution, build your own
solution, anything! just stay away from C&P at all costs...
