I have a text box on a form that includes a date of birth. I would like
another text box to calculate the perosns age based on today's date. What is
the formula for such a calculation?

Hi GrudgeDB,

To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do
with dates in Word, check out my Date Calc 'tutorial', at:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902
In particular, look at the item titled 'Interactively Calculate A Person's
Age'.

Taking that as your starting point, you could delete the ASK field from the
code
(i.e '{ASK BirthDate "What is the Birthdate?"}') and either make your
formfield's
bookmark 'BirthDate' or change 'BirthDate' in the age-calculation field to
whatever
your formfield's bookmark name is. You might also want to delete the string
'If your
Date of Birth was {Birthdate \@ "d MMMM yyyy"}, then your age is ' from the
code.

Cheers
