Ahh... that's cool.

Well my larger stumbling block is that it's a cfx tag which means I
can't use it in a UDF with CF5 because you can't put a <cfx> tag (or
any tag) in cfscript. Since I'm not aware that there's a way to
instantiate a dll within cfscript without using COM, I suspect
anything that would solve my problem would need to use COM.
The other issue of course is that the onTap framework is an open
source project, so there aren't any funds to license cfx_odbcinfo and
I'm sure you're not interested in donating the code, since it's an
income source for you. :) But support for Access hasn't been a big
enough issue (at least yet) for me to put much time into researching
it either, so you're probably pretty safe.

So access doesn't support ODBC's standard with regard to primary and
foreign key information?

The onTap framework features do the same thing for JDBC datasource
using CFMX.
