Using MS Access - Insert Age

Expert: Scottgem - 2/20/2005

Question
How to insert the age doing just an association with the subject's date of birth (wich i already have in the database. Thank you for your time.

Answer
You don't say insert where. Age is a calculation and should not be stored in your database. It should be calculated on the fly for display when you need it. There are several ways to calculate age.
