calculate a persons age code not working. (1 Viewer)

Hi all I have another code Problem, Can someone help me with this.
I have two fields
One called cust_birthday ( date field )
And one called cust_age ( text field )
The code below I put in a module name age function.

The Problem, is I get no return from this code.

What is wrong with this code ????

Option Compare Database

Public Function Age(cust_birthday As Date, Optional cust_age As Variant) As Integer
Dim dteBase As Date, intCurrent As Date, intEstAge As Integer
If IsMissing(SpecDate) Then
dteBase = Date
Else
dteBase = SpecDate
End If
cust_age = DateDiff("yyyy", dteDOB, dteBase)
cust_age = DateSerial(Year(dteBase), Month(dteDOB), Day(dteDOB))
Age = cust_birthday + (dteBase < cust_age)
End Function

what is spec_date? it needs to be one of the parameters to the function. Try compiling - it will probably pick thus up as an error.

put a break point at the top of the code, and step through it line by line, to see what's happening

can dot get it working.

Hi, gemma-the-husy can you help me.
I did the compiling, no err came up.
I also try to do step through it line by line.
Still can not get a returen,
So I did an add watch with intEstAge = DateDiff("yyyy", dteDOB, dteBase)
The value ( out of context ) ??? what can I do about this. ??
intCurrent = DateSerial(Year(dteBase), Month(dteDOB), Day(dteDOB))
The value ( out of context ) ??? what can I do about this. ??
The form name is customer form.
The table name is customer table

Can someone redo this code so I can understaion it.
What i am doing wrong.
The field is cust_birthday ( Date )
The other is the cust_age ( text )

Can someone help me with this.

End If
intEstAge = DateDiff("yyyy", dteDOB, dteBase)
intCurrent = DateSerial(Year(dteBase), Month(dteDOB), Day(dteDOB))
Age = intEstAge + (dteBase < cust_age)
End Function

Thank You for any help I can get..

its hard to see what you are trying to do.

in your last example you have ismissing(cust_burthday), but the ismissing should be testing for the optional parameter spec_date. Then whether ismissing returns true or false, you are still setting dtebase to the same value.

What are the dates you are passing in to the parameter supposed to represeny

i presume dtedob is the persons date of burth. Is this ALWAYS a value? or can it be 0 or blank ie unknown? What does specdate contain?

What are you trying to return - the age at a particular date, or the age at today's date?

Try this


It's not particularly accurate - but it might get you started ...

good luck
