Hello Everyone! I created a form with too many controls, so I split the form into two forms, moving about half of the fields from one form to another. Now my original form will not allow me to add any more controls. I get a message "Microsoft Access can't create any more controls on this form...

Thank you Very Much!! Mellay

Thanks Michael! How would you add the century?? Age = DateDiff("yyyy", [Birthdate], Now()) + _ Int(Format(Now(), "mmdd") < Format([Birthdate], "mmdd")) Thanks!! Mellay

Thanks for Prompt reply! I changed to idea suggested by mph1: Age = DateDiff("yyyy", [Birthdate], Now()) + _ Int(Format(Now(), "mmdd") < Format([Birthdate], "mmdd")) However, Dates earlier than 1929 still show up as a negative number. "-19", etc. All dates from 1930 to present...

Hi Jeff and Nigel! I have figured it out and it is working!! Thanks to both of you! My database is unique in a way, my supervisor insists on doing it this way. We have to count the total 'Y's and total 'N's for comparison. I am trying to &quot;bend&quot; Access to do what my supervisor...

Hi Jeff!! I finally have it working with one exception. If the User puts an 'N' in the NO Box First and then puts a 'Y' in the YES Box second, it works fine. But if the user puts the 'Y' in the YES Box first, and the 'N' in the No box second, it will not work. I wish I could have it both...
