How to date diff with a date of birth to calculate the age of the person on a certain future date.

RE: Access

Hello Stephanie
Thank you for your question

If you have the two dates stored in two seperate fields I would create a simple query and use the following:

Expr1: Dates!Date2-Dates!Date1

This will give you the number of days. (In this example I have created a table called Dates with two fields, Date2 holding the later date and Date1 holding the earlier date.)

If you wanted the result in years you could use this and just format the query result field accordingly:
Expr1: ([Dates]![Date2]-[Dates]![Date1])/365

You can also use DATEDIFF formula which is explained in more detail on this link:

If this resolves your question, please mark it as resolved. If not, please reply with more information.

Kind regards
Cress

Access tip:

Hiding Multiple Table columns

If you want to hide non-adjacent Access table columns. In Datasheet view, open the table that contains the columns you want to hide.

On the Format menu, click Unhide Columns.
In the Unhide Columns dialog box, clear the check box next to the name of each column you want to hide.
Click Close.

This method makes having to use the Hide Columns command repeatedly unnecessary
