Sorry, forget about this, it was something in the VBA code, so nil to do
with SQLite.

Could I ask you how I would get the age in months? I can see it will be
along similar lines, but maybe you have worked it out already.
I need it to be full calendar months, so, if current date is 2007-05-31 then
DOB          Age in months
--------------------------
2007-05-01   0
2007-04-30   1
2007-01-01   4
Etc.

This works for me in the sqlite shell as shown below:

C:\Documents and Settings\DennisC>sqlite3
SQLite version 3.3.15
Enter ".help" for instructions

   ...> end
   ...> ;

How are you running this query?
