U can compare dates in terms of days , months or years as u wish by DateDiff Function in VB6.
As DateDiff(interval, date1, date2[, firstdayofweek[, firstweekofyear]])
Where interval will be in string as :
yyyy Year
q Quarter
m Month
y Day of year
d Day
w Weekday
ww Week
h Hour
n Minute
s Second
It will return difference of two dates as long according to parameters provided.

following codes is an example :

Private Sub btnCalculate_Click()
Dim Temp, thn, bln As Long
Temp = DateDiff("m", DTPStart.Value, DTPEnd.Value)
thn = Temp \ 12   ' Year
bln = Temp Mod 12 ' Month
MsgBox thn & " Years " & bln & " Months"
End Sub

e.g :
Start = 5/24/2008
End = 7/24/2008
Result = 0 Years 2 Months

Private Function TimeDiff(Time1 As String, Time2 As String) As String
Dim MinsDiff As String
Dim TheHours As String
MinsDiff = DateDiff("n", Time1, Time2)
'If midnight is between times
MinsDiff = IIf(MinsDiff < 0, MinsDiff + 1440, MinsDiff)
TheHours = Format(Int(MinsDiff / 60), "00")
MinsDiff = Format(MinsDiff Mod 60, "00")
TimeDiff = TheHours & ":" & MinsDiff
End Function


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim x As String
x = TimeDiff(DTPicker1.Value, DTPicker2.Value)
MsgBox x
End Sub
