Thanks Len for your suggestion We will still use ArcIMS accessed via a password area for community groups to change their maps. This will be hosted elsewhere. ESRI has been helping us out so would be a bit opportunist to "jump ship".
The maps will be batch generated and stored as static jpeg files accessed via the coldfusion site for general public to look at or download.

We have a solution dynamic mapping for Coldfusion using MapInfo as a dynamic map generator. the maps are gifs drawn in real time. zoom in/out, pan, find nearest, populate the map with various POI, etc, etc. it's of course an OEM tool need integration with your specific maps. >Our development box is win2000, access 2000, IIS 5, CF which matches our >hosting ISP. The database will move over to SQL7 mid year. as you must know, access sucks at any volume. I doubt the rate of queries to support our dynamic mapping solution will be supported by Access. >ESRI/Eagle Technology donated ArcView for producing the maps.

For our CF MapInfo dynamic GIS, you'd need MapInfo MapxSite license, plus our stuff. not cheap.
