I did too! Sorry.

You're right! I tried out comparing date with date from 1/1/1900 to 1/1/2000
and discovered that:
Age 30/01/1900 01/03/1900 ; My 'Age NOT Ladislav's age.
gives a negative day.
So I decided to replace my age value with your age value.
Thank you, Ladislav!
My 'Age function now looks like:
Age: function [
"Calulates Age in Years, Months & Days."
Birth [date!]
Date [date!]
] [Years Months Days New] [
if Date < Birth [
return Age Date Birth
]
Days: Date/day - Birth/day
if negative? Days [
Months: Birth/month + 1
Years: Birth/year
if Months > 12 [
Months: 1
Years: Years + 1
]
New: to date! reduce [1 Months Years]
Days: New - Birth + Date/day - 1
Birth: New
]
Months: Date/month - Birth/month
Years: Date/year - Birth/year
if negative? Months [
Months: Months + 12
Years: Years - 1
]
make object! compose [Years: (Years) Months: (Months) Days: (Days)]
]
And if people are interested in some tests:
26/10/2002 25/10/1960 [Years: 42 Months: 0 Days: 1]
25/10/2002 25/10/1960 [Years: 42 Months: 0 Days: 0]
24/10/2002 25/10/1960 [Years: 41 Months: 11 Days: 30]
01/03/2005 29/02/2004 [Years: 1 Months: 0 Days: 1]
28/02/2005 29/02/2004 [Years: 0 Months: 11 Days: 28]
02/03/2004 29/02/2004 [Years: 0 Months: 0 Days: 2]
01/03/2004 29/02/2004 [Years: 0 Months: 0 Days: 1]
29/02/2004 29/02/2004 [Years: 0 Months: 0 Days: 0]
01/03/2004 29/02/2000 [Years: 4 Months: 0 Days: 1]
29/02/2004 29/02/2000 [Years: 4 Months: 0 Days: 0]
30/01/1900 01/03/1900 [Years: 0 Months: 1 Days: 2]
Thanks again, Ladislav!
