I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do.  But true/false
can be stored as 0/-1
and the date and time broken apart and stored separately.  The details of
breaking up the fields depends
upon the language you are using.  In vb you need to use the conversion
functions such as Clng, Cdate, etc.. to convert the fields to integers.
Hope this helps.
