VB code for calculating EXACT age from date of birth

[Jeff]

Can someone please help me with the VB code for
calculating an age in years automatically when a date of
birth is entered. I can get the age correct by the year,
however if the date of birth has not occurred yet for
this year the age is wrong. PLEASE HELP...

Here is one that returns age in Years and Months. If I were born on 9/1/93
then I'e be 9y-11m now.

Public Function GetAgeStr(varDOB As Variant, varDate As Variant) As String
' Purpose Returns a string of the age between dates in the following
format:
' Yy-Mm where Y is years and M is the months between dates
Dim dteDOB As Date, dteDate As Date
Dim lngMonths As Long, lngYears As Long
If IsDate(varDOB) And IsDate(varDate) Then
dteDOB = CDate(varDOB)
dteDate = CDate(varDate)
lngMonths = DateDiff("M", dteDOB, dteDate) Mod 12
lngYears = DateDiff("M", dteDOB, dteDate) \ 12
If DatePart("m", dteDate) = DatePart("m", dteDOB) And DatePart("d",
dteDate) < DatePart("d", dteDOB) Then
lngYears = lngYears - 1
lngMonths = 11
End If
GetAgeStr = lngYears & "y-" & lngMonths & "m"
Else
GetAgeStr = ""
End If
End Function

You don't need any code!

Put the following expression as the control source of an unbound control on your
form:


=DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],Date())-IIf(Format([DOB],"mmdd")>Format(Date(),
"mmdd"),1,0)
