- I am trying to create a calculated field in FileMaker Pro that will
- return the number of days since a date located in another field. For
- example, if today is the 13th of August, I want to know how many days
- have passed since (for example) June 27th, 1991. Is there a simple
- way to do this? The calculation functions don't seem to lend
- themselves well to this task, but I may not be using them properly.
- Can anyone help me out with this?
