texte = I'm using this code snippet to calculate ages of people in a db dynamically.[Format 10.0d][math](({[DATE %m/%d/%Y]}-{[DOB]})/365)[/math][/format]Someone pointed out this morning that a few ages are calculating wrong. Atfirst, I thought it was rounding up so, I checked the archives and foundthis code:[math]floor(({[date]}-{[DOB]})/365)[/math]I put this in the template and got the same result and now I'm reallyperplexed. It did the math and showed the person's already 37 when the DOBis not until July 1. The DOB record is 7/01/65 (without the quotes).Can anyone explain this to me (or show me what's wrong with the code)?_______________________________________________________________________Steve Dannaway | Director of Information Technology & General Counsel JM Associates | The Worldwide Leader in Outdoor Television_______________________________________________________________________-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
