Looking at that post, I'd say that Gérald Santerre had the shorter function since he simplified

((MONTH(ldMdate)*100 + DAY(ldMdate)) >= (MONTH(ldDob)*100 + DAY(ldDob)) 

to

RIGHT(DTOS(ldMdate),4) >= RIGHT(DTOS(ldDob),4) 

although he used the less than sign and reversed the order of the IIF() clauses to make a shorter expression.

(and that's my to cents worth)
