you can store the time/date data in one field and make a view/query breaking out the separate parts into 2 new fields..

Are you suggesting I use a date and a time column in my classes db? With several classes per day, they each have a time of day. I was trying to be efficient and use a single date/time field to store this info. The trick then becomes how to find records with the same date (ignoring the time element) for all classes on any given day.
