Re: Getting someone's age from dob and current year
Thanks everyone. I figured the dob problem out and it's now working. Now I just need to get my substack back. Have there been stability problems with substacks?

Re: Getting someone's age from dob and current year
Hello all, I need to figure out someone's age. I have their date of birth and I have today's date. How do I get the end result. My math skills SUCK. Here's my code (loaded in from the database with a SELECT statement): put item 7 of myLine into dobMonth put item 8 of myLine into dobDay put item 9 of myLine into dobYear put chartonum(dobYear) into dobYearNum put the long system date into field TodayDate I figured I would subtract this year from the dobyear and get the age - am I right? How would I do this if I am?

Mike I gotta start reading the whole message before I reply... If you already have two 4-digit year values in variables, you can simply put their difference into another variable (or container). put (largYear - smallYear) into tAge You can also say: subtract smallYear from largeYear answer largeYear -- which now becomes the age ˜Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Getting someone's age from dob and current year
Hi all - another one: I have a path stored in a MySQL database to an image file. I have a page with a image control I know how to SELECT the imagepath info and bring it into a variable, but how do I then load that image into the image control (with proper proportions)? I tried the obvious ways and nothing worked for me. The image control is named imgCandidatePic (just a small 140x140 square). A sample path would be http://www.server.com/userfiles/bear_harry/mypic.jpg for example I need to get that picture into the image control when the card loads (so in the card script using opencard). Thanks for your help everyone.

Re: Getting someone's age from dob and current year
The following works: put http://fake.com/fake.jpg; into k set the filename of img 1 to k To get the correct dimensions I guess you would have to find the dimensions of the online jpg, then make you img the same dimensions. Just a thought.
