Hehe. Answering my own question. I wouldn't mind $5 for every time I
have used that expression over the last 12 years, on the assumption that
I had it licked.
And now I see the obvious - in the case of a 29 February birthday,
evaluating age on 28 February in a non leap year works correctly, but
evaluating age on 28 February during a leap year, it gives the wrong figure.
So, I have modified accordingly...
Age: DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],[DateAt])+(Format([DOB]+(Format([DOB],"mmdd")
=Format([DateAt],"mmdd")="0229"),"mmdd")>Format([DateAt],"mmdd"))
