> Thoughts on these issues welcome.

Having used several options to get round these problems in
the past, this is an area that I should start looking at a
little closer.

Currently I just handle a 'zero' date or 'zero' time when I
have to, and use something else to indicate not set when a
NULL entry could be useful.

Is this the area we are talking?
