Calculate Full Months Between Dates in Access Part 2

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a custom VBA function to calculate the number of whole months between two dates in Microsoft Access. Building on part one, where we used a query with a calculated field, part two focuses on the developer side with a more efficient, reusable solution using a global VBA function. Detailed steps guide you through setting up the function, understanding parameters, and testing it within your database, enhancing functionality across multiple queries and forms. This approach not only simplifies calculations but also streamlines database management. This is part 2.
