Hi, I know this question has been asked often but here goes.
I have the D.O.B. and need an accurate age to be calculated...and then
saved, if that's even possible. Ideally I would like to enter the birthdate,
have the calculated age displayed and saved for use later
we do statistics based on age of the patient on the date of the procedure.
So if given the birthdate...can I have Access calculate the age and store it,
and then later calculate success rates based on patients age ranges?
Thanks
Lindsey

To calculate the age of a patient in easy enough.
No real need to save it (even though you think you do).

Let's assume you are storing the patients date of birth and the date
the procedure was done.

To calculate the age as of the date of procedure (which may or may
not be the current date), you can use:

In a query:
Age: DateDiff("yyyy", [DOB], [DateOfProcedure]) - IIF(Format([DOB],
"mmdd") Format([DateOfProcedure], "mmdd"), 1, 0)

Or directly as the control source of an unbound control in a report or
on a form:
=DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],[DateOfProcedure])-IIf(Format([DOB],
"mmdd")>Format([DateOfProcedure],"mmdd"),1,0)

Just compute it and display it on a form or report, as
needed.
Change (DOB] and [DateOfProcedure] to whatever your actual date fields
are named.
 
Thanks a bunch! That will also enable me to pull out say pregnancy rates
based on how old the woman was at the time of the procedure?
