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?
