Try use this as "Custom calculation script" in field where you want to show age:

event.value = "";
var dv = this.getField("DOB").value;
if (dv!="") {
var dob = util.scand("dd/mmm/yyyy", dv);
var today = new Date();
var age = today.getFullYear() - dob.getFullYear();
if (today.getMonth() < dob.getMonth()) age = age - 1;
if ((today.getMonth() == dob.getMonth()) && (today.getDate() < dob.getDate())) age -= 1;
event.value = age;}

This issue was discussed on the forums many times, including complete code examples of how to do it. Try searching around a bit of "age calculation" or similar keywords...
