I have an age calc

Let ([

today = Get(CurrentDate);

datedif = today - birthday+1];

Year ( datedif ) -1

)

I put it in as an custom function. This has worked fine, until I enlarged the network and put filemaker server 7 on and every now an then it will not calc the field. I have indexing turned off and at a loss for what the problem might be. Is there something on the server that need to be selected so that it calculates that field everyday.

Thanks in advance.

1. The calculation field must be unstored.

2. This is not a good way to calculate age - see here why:

I am still having trouble with the age calc. The file is running on a server.. with clients and It calcs right but it is not calculating when the clients open. So the age will change if you make a change in the field and then put back. but if it has been a year since messing with the file it does not calc until you play with the date field.

It is like you have to manually change the date.

Let([n = Get(CurrentDate); b = Birthday];

Year(n) - Year(: - ((Month(n) + Day(n) / 100) < (Month( + Day( / 100))

)
