Storing Age Permanently After It is Calculated
Anthony DiVincenti 
    
5 hours ago
I am calculating age in a form via a query like this:  AGE:Int((Date()-[DOB])/362.2425)
I need to store this AGE calculation permanently at the time DOB is entered in the form. I do not want it to change over time.  Please help.

A calculated query field isn't stored anywhere. If you want a snapshot of the person's age when you enter their DOB, add a regular Number field to the table - I'd call it AgeAtEntry rather than Age - and populate it in the DOB control's After Update event.

That gives you their actual age as of today and saves that number permanently. It won't change next year.

You're welcome! Sometimes the simple stuff is the hardest to see when you're staring at it too long. Glad you got it.
