Robert, I don't recall seeing it, but it should be possible with code. If you = want to give it a shot I would be happy to help (and I won't even charge = you $25/yr for the code). Plug this into a module, compile and save it: **********Snip Here***************** Function GeneologyAge(DtBegin As Date, DtEnd As Date) As String Dim strYears As String Dim IntYears As Integer Dim strMonths As String Dim IntMonths As Integer Dim strDays As String Dim IntDays As Integer IntYears =3D DateDiff("yyyy", DtBegin, DtEnd) strYears =3D CStr(IntYears) Do If Len(strYears) < 3 Then strYears =3D "0" + strYears End If Loop Until Len(strYears) =3D 3 DtBegin =3D DateAdd("yyyy", IntYears, DtBegin) IntMonths =3D DateDiff("m", DtBegin, DtEnd) strMonths =3D CStr(IntMonths) If Len(strMonths) < 2 Then strMonths =3D "0" + strMonths End If DtBegin =3D DateAdd("m", IntMonths, DtBegin) IntDays =3D DateDiff("d", DtBegin, DtEnd) strDays =3D CStr(IntDays) If Len(strDays) < 2 Then strDays =3D "0" + strDays End If GeneologyAge =3D strYears + strMonths + strDays End Function ************Snip Here******************** After you do that all you have to do is Call the GeneologyAge function = in your query and plug in your begining and ending dates. This should = return the data in the format you are looking for. If you need any more assistance with it please feel free to ask. Thank You, James La Borde -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Robert Carneal Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 4:50 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Access 2000 date routines ? Pre-written somewhere? :VSMail mx1 It seems as though I saw a site with some "genealogy-related date = routines for Access 2000" somewhere. Where you were allowed to view the code (in = some cases, copy it if you wanted); and I think there was a small fee = involved. ($25.00/yr ??) If anyone knows what I am talking about, please let me = know. I searched through my Archives and MSO Archives to no avail. What I very much would like to do in Access is have two dates (one or = both may be before 1900-01-01) and properly calculate the date to give a seven-digit representation of age. Example: Date 1: 1855-01-15 Date 2: 1935-04-09 Age in years, months, days is 80yrs, 2mths, 25 days. Or, in YYYMMDD = format, 0800225. A YYYMMDD format allows for a max age of 9991230, 999yrs, 12 = mths, & 30 days. Does anyone recall this please? Thank you.
