Date Calculation field--adding years to date

I have created several Date calculation fields that take the value of another date field and add between 1 and 10 years to that date. To add 10 years I used the calculation:

datecalc = datefield + Date (01,01,11)

This works pretty well, but randomly the day of the month is off in datecalc by one day.

Is there a better way to add simply the years? It is critical that the dates be exact, except for the added years, for scripting purposes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, AlanM

datecalc = Date(Month(datefield), Day(datefield), Year(datefield) + NumOfYears)
