Age calculation based upon date of birth and date of death in years, months and days.

Question

I'm so sorry if I am asking for the 100th time, but i've searched so many posts and not seeing exactly what I need.  I work for a funeral home and we are now typing our arrangement information instead of hand writing them.  For our obituaries we always have to calculate the final age in years, months and days.  I thought if I could do a script to calculate it for me, it would save some time!  But, I know nothing about scripts in adobe.  Can somebody help me with the code?  My document will have the date of birth field and the date of death field, now I just need to have it calculate in years, months, and days in my age field.  PLEASE HELP!

Thank you!! Now, how can I change things in order to put the month first versus typing the day?

You have to change:
...
if (util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy",this.getField("Deathday").valueAsString)>=util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy",this.getField("Birthday").valueAsString)) {
...
var DoB=parseInt(birthday[1]);
var MoB=parseInt(birthday[0]);
...
var DoD=parseInt(deathday[1]);
var MoD=parseInt(deathday[0]);
...
That's all for the script.
You also have to change the format of both date fields. Remove the script before changing them, else you will have the alert message!!!
