I don't think this is correct. When you specify BEGIN TRANSACTION within an SQL batch (which is the raw SQL equivalent of the CFTRANSACTION tag), it isn't a recommendation, but rather will force the database to apply transactional processing rules based on the isolation level (which is SERIALIZABLE by default with CFMX, apparently). And yes, CFTRANSACTION works with Access just like with any other database.
