Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

//form: age(birthday)

If(not IsEmpty(birthday);
int((Get ( CurrentDate ) -  GetAsDate ( birthday))/365.25);"")

This will often be wrong on the day of the person's birthday anniversaries. For example: Date of Birth = 5/4/2008 Today = 5/4/2011 This function returns 2, when the correct age is clearly 3.
