"You know in reading this exchange, all I can think is that it would be far easier to make the access db a data source and do the whole thing in CF. For all the effort put into this so far, you could probably have this completed in CF in far less time."
Each has their own uses. Access is great for small data driven apps that do not need to be scalable. With experience, it is easy and quick to build the app. Like all systems, gaining the experience takes time. Coldfusion would be overkill and not necessary quicker. The server would need to be installed. A real database would have to be installed (unless you want to use access -*shudder*). Features like security and user management may or may not be necessary.
