Is to have your CFC do this

<cfcomponent>
	<cffunction name="getData" access="remote" returntype="query">
		<cfargument name="myToggle" type="string" required="yes" default="false" />
 
		<cfset var qryData = 0 />
 
                <cfquery name="qryData " datasource="DATAS">	
			SELECT *
                           FROM tableData
                </cfquery>
 
		<cfreturn qryData>
	</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Rather than serializing it yourself first. If you’re binding with a method of cfc: then you don’t need to do this, instead you need to change it to return text and use the SerializeJSON on your qryData query.

The next problem this created for me was in the way I normally had been grabbing the newly created records in my Access tables. I guess it’s pretty standard for most people to do something along these lines when creating and inserting values into your access tables:

<cfquery name="test1" datasource="source1">
     INSERT INTO Table (datacol)
     VALUES ("datapiece");
</cfquery>
 
<cfquery name="getID" datasource="source1">
    SELECT MAX(ID) as MaxID FROM Table
</cfquery>
 
<cfset myID = getID.MaxID />

Well this didn’t work anymore with the Random seed for the AutoNumber. The max was no longer the last one inserted. It led to quite a bit of hair pulling on my part – and that’s an accomplishment when you’re bald. So I had heard from a co-worker that @@Identity did in fact work in Access. I hadn’t spent much time looking into it – being as I had a solution that worked (Max(id)) and I prefer to work in SQL Server or MySQL. But now I was presented with a need to figure it out. A few minutes of Googling led me to this article by Charlie Arehart from 2002(!) I was a little surprised to see it had been working for this long. So now I do my access inserts like this:

<cftransaction>
      <cfquery name="test1" datasource="source1">
             INSERT INTO Table (datacol)
             VALUES ("datapiece");
      </cfquery>
 
      <cfquery name="getID" datasource="source1">
             SELECT @@IDENTITY as MaxID;
      </cfquery>	
 
      <cfset myID = getID.MaxID />
</cftransaction>

And everything works out just fine. The keys are the CFTransaction tag and using two separate CFQuery tags. Now to go revamp a whole section of code to use this little tidbit!
