Format Time to Time/ Date to Date

Question

Hi,
need some help. I try to format a Time and a Date value, but I don't want to convert them to a String.
I know this:
SimpleDateFormat formatDate = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd/MM/yyyy" );
SimpleDateFormat formatTime = new SimpleDateFormat( "HH:mm:ss" );
String strDate = formatDate.format( new Date() );
String strTime = formatTime.format( new Date() );
But instaed of "String strDate" and "String strTime" I want something like "Date dDate" and "Time tTime".
Do someone know, if it's possible?
Thanks in advance for your help....

Hi ChuckBing,
I have to insert/update a Date field in a recordset in a MS Access database. The problem is that the date must be formatted (dd/MM/yyyy) and the time also (HH:mm) - without seconds.
I can do something like this:
String strInsert = "INSERT INTO table"
+ "( Date, Time ) "
+ "VALUES "
+ "( "
+ "#" + strDate + "#" + ", "
+ "'" + strTime + "'"
+ " )";
stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate( strInsert );
And this:
String strUpdate = "UPDATE table"
+ "SET Time = '" + strTime + "'"
+ " "
+ "WHERE "
+ "Date = " + "#" + strDate + "#"
+ " AND "
+ otherCriteria;
stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate( strUpdate );
But this solution is bad. And this:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( aQuery );
rs.moveToInsertRow();
rs.updateString( "Datum", "#" + strDate+ "#"); // doesn't work
rs.updateString( "Kommt", "'" + strTime + "'" ); // doesn't work
rs.insertRow();
rs.moveToCurrentRow();
doesn't work, because I can't write a String into a Date field on this way.
Do you know, what I'll try to explain?
