Coldfusion: Can't reference var from query result set - coldfusion

Question

Using cfscript, trying to set the ID of the newly inserted question so that I can use it in my answer insert to build the relationship. I've done this a million times outside of cfscript. setName seems to be the proper method to call to create the query name.
I'm receiving the error that "theQuestionID" does not exist in qryQuestion
i = 1;
while ( structKeyExists( form, "question" & i ) )
{
q = new Query();
q.setDatasource("kSurvey");
q.setName("qryQuestion");
q.setSQL("
set nocount on
insert into question (question)
values('#form["question#i#"]#')
select ##IDENTITY AS theQuestionID
set NOCOUNT off
");
q.execute();
writeOutput("Question"&i&"<br>");
j = 1;
while ( structKeyExists( form, "question" & i & "_answer" & j) ) {
q = new Query();
q.setDatasource("kSurvey");
q.setSQL("
insert into answer (answer,questionid)
values('#form["question#i#_answer#j#"]#',#qryQuestion.theQuestionID#)
");
q.execute();
writeOutput("Answer"&j&"<br>");
j++;
}
i++;
}

Answer 1

Theres a better way to accomplish this without having to select ##identity (which in itself isn't the best way to get it from sql server, using scope_identity is the best practice way to do this in sql server. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190315.aspx
Fortunately ColdFusion makes this even easier:
<cfscript>
insertQuery = new query();
insertQuery.setDatasource("datasourcename");
insertQuery.setSql("insert into contact(firstname, lastname)
values('ryan','anklam')");
result = insertQuery.Execute();
theKey = result.getPrefix().generatedkey;
</cfscript>
