You are completely welcome! Sarah is one of the sharper knives in the
drawer (and community-minded). I'm not sure if she still reads the list
but she is missed.

That is some very useful
Another good resource for date & time calcs is Sarah Reichelt's
DateTime.rev library, which is pure LC:

Indeed, it may be easier to let an external lib handle the date calculations,

HI Igor,
I don't know the answer to your question about dates prior to 1970 on
Windows machines, but I do know that problem doesn't exist with the sqlite
solution I posted. You don't even have to have an sqlite database
available to you, just call revOpenDatabase with ":memory:" as the file
path.
Many thanks for all the suggestions - and I did learn a couple of new tricks
from your code, too! I had not realised that there could be an issue with
pre-1970 dates in Windows, and also did not know that we had to watch out for
the 'centuryCutoff' property. Very, very useful to know.

Sorry, I copied and pasted an older version of the handler. Try this:
function doAge tDate,asOf
-- returns the age given birthdate =
-- as of the date (if empty, assumes today)
if tDate = empty then return empty
if asOf = empty then
put the date into asOf
end if
set the i
Wasn't there a recent post that indicated this would not work? Anything before
a certain date (I forget what it was) would be a day off?

Here's what I use for #1:
function doAge tDate,asOf
-- return the age given birthdate =
-- as of the date (if empty, assumes today)
convert tDate to dateItems
if asOf = empty then
put the date into asOf
end if
convert asOf to dateitems
put item 1 of asOf - item 1 of tD

'convert' just rocks. Here's a couple of throwaways to show you how I'd
approach it. They probably aren't exactly what you need, but you'll get
the idea.

What is the 'best' way to perform these 2 calculations with LiveCode?
