Will someone PLEASE tell me in detail exactly how to use the code below to
obtain a viable result.

Where do you put the code

How do you call it

From where

Thanks very much for any help you provide



Function Age(Date1 As Date, Date2 As Date) As String
Dim Y As Integer
Dim M As Integer
Dim D As Integer
Dim Temp1 As Date
Temp1 = DateSerial(Year(Date2), Month(Date1), Day(Date1))
Y = Year(Date2) - Year(Date1) + (Temp1 Date2)
M = Month(Date2) - Month(Date1) - (12 * (Temp1 Date2))
D = Day(Date2) - Day(Date1)
If D < 0 Then
M = M - 1
D = Day(DateSerial(Year(Date2), Month(Date2) + 1, 0)) + D + 1
End If
Age = Y & " years " & M & " months " & D & " days"

Chrissy has the answer, but use alt-F11 instead of just F11.
