Hi A.D.Tejpal You could do that (I haven't had the need) but in that case I would suggest to return months or even days, as a decimal year doesn't really mean anything except for comparison - but if this is mandatory I would prefer Currency as return value type as Single can cause a lot of trouble due to the lack of resolution. /gustav > Threads related to age calculation appear to remain ever popular. > Any reason for limiting the return value to an integer ? Would it not be preferable to have it as single (Integer portion to represent comnpleted years and decimal portion based upon number of > days lapsed in final unfinished year if any) ? The result could be used at the level of precision actually needed.
