Is there any particular reason you're not doing this the normal way?

(i.e. using ? and then setTimestamp(int,Timestamp))

This is JDBC basics but I'll answer anyway since I'm still drinking the morning coffee.

In your particular case... (ignore my wrapping, it won't actually be valid in Java so either put it on one line or concat the strings.)

PreparedStatement st = conn.prepareStatement(
  "INSERT INTO users (RecordID, CTMCClientID, OrgName, Prefix, FName,
                      MidInit, LName, Addr1, Addr2, City, State, Zip,
                      Phone, CellPhone, AltPhone, Fax, Email, Login,
                      Password, Status, AccessLevelID, DateCreated,
                      CreatedBy, DateExpired)
               VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?,
                      ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");

// more sets here...
st.setTimestamp(22, new Timestamp(...));
// more sets here...
st.executeUpdate();

In such a fashion we can insert dates without actually knowing the syntax for them... and also insert strings without actually knowing how to escape them. etc.

If it isn't immediately obvious, it's also possible to reuse that PreparedStatement (in fact it's recommended, if you're calling the statement multiple times.)
