Maybe, but you could define a constant..
CONST TRUE "T"
CONST FALSE "F"
INSERT INTO logInfo2 (logID, ipAddress, boolVars) VALUES (null,
'192.192.192.192', TRUE)

Thanks for the suggestion, but this would still mean converting the data
type from within ASP (the 'True' type) down to a char ('T') would it not?
It is more sensical than using 1/0 but still involves the same number of
processes?
