How do I create a trigger for the age. I want an alert to appear when the date of birth field is less than the age of 17. The formula is age=sysdate-dateofbirth

Oh, yes - forgot to answer the question.
That would be the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger. Pseudocode:if age < 17 then
message(you are too young)
raise error
else
null (or something else, but don't raise an error)
end if
[EDIT: changed "e" to "o"]

Quote:Well, that depends on who you are asking. Depends on sex, that is.
If it is a lady (and we all know that it is impolite to ask her how old she is), the answer would approximately be "28" and she'll keep on saying that for another decade or so. However, the fact is that women do get older (while us, men, become charming)
What's it?

'08-april-1990' is still NOT a date.
And what you want to calculate is the difference between the current date and the birth to get the age.
Once again read the link I provided.
