Allaire has the CF Application Servers (CF Express, CF Professional and CF
Enterprise last time I checked). CF Studio is a souped up version of HomeSite
for CF developers. You can just as easily use any other text editor if you don't
absolutely have to have the advanced functions.

Regarding your other question, working with Access DB's and CF is ultra-easy.

I suggest that you keep HomeSite, download an app server evaluation or CF
Express, and play around before you commit to anything.
