Andrew,
A calculated field is just a "displayed" value on the form. It's not "bound" to a field
in your table, so it never gets saved.
And... that's the correct way to do it!

Never save a calculated value that can re-derived from data you already have
Since you've captured the BirthDate, you can always re-calculate the age from that... in
any subsequent form, query or report.
On your report, in the query behind it, create a calculated column like this...
Age : (Put the same age calculation as on your form here)
Now place that Age field on your report.
