The date for these fields is stored in the WSS centent DB(s). in the
AllUserData table each data type has a limited number of fields 1 to x
for example text fields are stored in ntext1-4.
I have not found the exact location of the metadata that defines the custom
fields names and values location. But as long at the template does not
change you should be ok accessing the fields directly.
Hope this helps
