[AccessD] [SPAM SUSPECT] Help with Syntax error

Joe,

Firstly, yearcalc needs to be a function that returns a long (I assume that
is what you would want).

Public Function yearcalc(date1 As Date, date2 As Date) as long
dim lDiff as long

   ldiff = clng((Datediff("m", date1,date2)/12))

   yearcalc=ldiff

 End Sub


The calling code would need to be something like:

dim lRet as long

   lRet=yearcalc(date1,date2)

The idea here is get the difference in years between 2
dates.

 

This is a global module.

 

Public Sub yearcalc(date1 As Date, date2 As Date)

   = int(Datediff("m", date1,date2)/12)

 End Sub

 

 

=int line returns syntax error

 

 

This is the code I want to call the above

 

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

Dim DOB As Date

Dim txtIDATE As Date

 Set DOB = date1

 Set txtIDATE = date2

 Call yearcalc

 

Thanks
