Somewhat, but not exactly. I guess I need to expand my question.

The function Get_Age() returns NULL when the Birth_Date is NULL. That IS the result I want since, you can't know the Age when you don't know the Birth_Date. However, VFP creates a Numeric field in the cursor for the result of Get_Age(). When Get_Age() returns a NULL, I get the error, Field doesn't accept NULL! True, since Numeric can't accept NULL, but Integer can. (Unless I'm mistaken there. <G>)

Any Ideas?
