Universal Data Type

Can anyone think of a way to store data into a database as a universal
(binary) datatype and then be able to retreive it later?
For example:
I would like to be able to take any field from any table (including memos)
and put it into this datatype.
Suppose I had the following tables:
MainTable
Name c(10)
Age n(3,0)
Notes m
Expire d
Member l
Universal
Data u (or whatever the universal data type is)
I would want to be able to:
Replace u with Name or
Replace u with Age or
Replace u with Notes or
Replace u with Expire or
Replace u with Member
Right now the best I can come up with is to use a memo field and do
conversions for numeric, date, datetime, and logical fields.
Can anyone think of anything better?
Thanks,
Jeff
