SUMMARY

To calculate a person's current age, enter the following commands in the Command window:

   m.DOB = {12/03/62}
   m.age = ROUND(((DATE() - m.DOB) / 365.25),0)
   ? m.age

NOTES: The value 365.25 accounts for leap years, and the question mark tells FoxPro to print the age to the screen. You may need to minimize open windows to see the printed value.
