Auto Calculate

[steigrafx]

I'm new to FileMaker, and this is probably a simple issue -- but I just can't figure it out.

I have a date field called Date Assigned, which uses a drop-down calendar. I also have a calculated field called Age, which uses a "birthday" calculation so the result is years, months, days. The calculation works fine when a record is entered.

My problem is the calculation does not update automatically. However, if I open an existing record and select the drop-down calendar and re-select the original date, the Age calculation field updates. I need the Age calculation to run whenever the database is opened so that all Age fields are updated automatically.

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with this.

Thanks,

Kevin

Set your age calculation to 'do not store calculation results' in the calculation's Storage Options.

Thank you so much. This was driving me nuts. As soon as I did that, everything updated.

I knew it was something simple that I was overlooking. But, that's how we learn.

Thanks again, and have a nice weekend.
