Need ASP Routine for Date Difference

[Bill]

I need an ASP routine that will take a date, compare it to the present date,
and then output the difference in Years, Months, and Days.

(I'm too swamped to write it myself & I'm sure somebody already wrote it
better than I can)

If anyone can point me towards such a routine, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bill.

Look up the DateDiff function in vbscript online help:

This is a pretty fuzzy request. Consider a comparison of February 28 to May
29. Is that 3 months and 1 day or 2 months and 29 days? If the former, is
the difference between March 1 and May 30 (add 1 day to each) still 3 months
and 1 day? If the latter, what about March 3 and June 1 (add 3 days to
each)?
