Dunno no CF, but....

You only need one variable, the ID of the current profile. Do the math in the code that prints the prev and next buttons.

This page: bletch.cfm?ID=$thisid
prev page: bletch.cfm?ID=($thisid--)
next page: bletch.cfm?ID=($thisid++)

I am working with a Coldfusion e-commerce system right now at:
http://www.needledoctor.com

Sadly I haven't learned enough about it yet to offer broad advice, but I have to say it feels like the most basic server side language I have seen. Maybe it's because the authors of the system aren't very good programmers, but I am not impressed.

Does Coldfusion use an integrated DB? The first thing you want to do is define your data structures, then build yourself a tool to modify the database, by the time you get that done, the actual output logic will be the simple part.
