Matt and Tony, Thanks for the quick response. Your messages confirmed some of my assumptions. Here's what my hosting company support had to say about it:
> Hi Chris, we create a DSN for each individual client who wants CV > storage. You could use either an AccessDB or an MSSQL db for this. It > is probably best to have an empty one, as the CF Administrator will > create the tables necessary.

You could > avoid this charge by using your current database for CV storage, as the > table names that are created are fairly unique. However, do this at > your own risk. Please let us know if you have any further questions. I think I will be able to work with just having them configure my already existing datasource to store client vars. It's for a fairly small site and I don't really expect lots of traffic. Thanks again.
