I said "for years", so it's accurate for years resolution (typo on code - dtoc(m.bDate,1)).
I wrote Age class for high level of accuracy where it was important to know age to last detail (ie: drug dosage in an infant).
I don't know if you were serious saying all your validation was about 120 years. I would then only check if !empty(bDate). 120 part is not accurate in itself. Depending on source you might already be threating invalid dates as valid dates (ie: SQL server is in use w/o not allowing null in datetime fields and there were values which in fact meant to be empty).
PS; Did you read my note about GetUSeID(). I think it's the bottleneck and you could speed up just removing it.
