VB6 age calculator

[drabsch]

im making a program that gives you the age of the person that enters there date of birth

the code i got at the moment is:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim age As String
age = Month(Now) - Text4.Text
If age < 0 Then
age = 1
Else
age = 0
End If

Text3.Text = ""
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Name: " & Text1.Text & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Gender: " & Text6.Text & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Date of Birth: " & Format(Text2.Text, "##") & "/" & Format(Text4.Text, "##") & "/" & Format(Text5.Text, "####") & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Age: " & (Year(Now) - Format(Text5.Text, "####")) - age & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Age in Months: " & ((Year(Now) - Format(Text5.Text, "####")) - age) * 12 + Text4.Text & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Age in Weeks: " & Int(((Year(Now) - Text5.Text) * 52) + (((Month(Now) - 1) - Text4.Text) * 4)) & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub Text6_Change()
Text6.Text = UCase(Text6.Text)
TicketClass = Text6.Text

Select Case TicketClass
Case "F"
Text6.Text = "Femail"
Class = True
Case "M"
Text6.Text = "Male"
Class = True
End Select
End Sub

i need to know if this is right and what i can do for the days hours minuets seconds etc.

I'm making my script cleaner
this is what i got so far

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim age As String

Dim yearold As String
Dim monthold As String
Dim dayold As String

Dim yearDOB As String
Dim monthDOB As String
Dim dayDOB As String

age = Month(Now) - Text4.Text
If age < 0 Then
age = 1
Else
age = 0
End If

dayDOB = Int(Text2.Text)
monthDOB = Int(Text4.Text)
yearDOB = Int(Text5.Text)

yearold = ((Year(Now) - yearDOB) - age)
monthold = (Month(Now) - 1) - monthDOB

Text3.Text = ""
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Name: " & Text1.Text & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Gender: " & Text6.Text & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Date of Birth: " & dayDOB & "/" & monthDOB & "/" & yearDOB & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Age: " & yearold & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Age in Months: " & yearold * 12 + monthDOB & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Age in Weeks: " & (yearold * 52) + (monthold * 4) & vbCrLf
Text3.Text = Text3.Text & "Age in Days: "
End Sub

Private Sub Text6_Change()
Text6.Text = UCase(Text6.Text)
TicketClass = Text6.Text

Select Case TicketClass
Case "F"
Text6.Text = "Female"
Class = True
Case "M"
Text6.Text = "Male"
Class = True
Case "M" Or "F"
Text6.Text = ""
End Select
End Sub

I'm going to change the scripting some more and post back with it.
