This is not perfect for reasons others have explained.  You may be able
to improve the formula by using a date of %date(1998-01-01) if you are
sure that every record you have is for people born before  January, 1998
(driver license applicants, for example.)  That example gives you ages
of 7 to 107 years old, which may be enough for your purposes.


(whispering to Booth) Psst...  Jan 1998 was 8 years ago, not 7.
