Wish List - Date Calculator - Again

[PollyH 0]

Since I've asked for this two or three times, I'm hoping if I ask for this enough times, Bob might include it in a future update just to get me to shut up.

 

As I was trying to determine just how far off my 3rd great grandmother was when she (or someone else) gave her age at the time of the 1850 census, I again had to open Legacy to perform that calculation. I would like the TMG date calculator to have a function to calculate exactly how old an individual was using a starting date and an ending date. I would like the date calculator to have entry fields for Start Date; End Date; and Days, Months, Years and be able to enter any two of the three variables and get the third.

 

Please, please, please Bob. Can you put that on the list for the near future?

There are a number of web sites which do nearly exactly what you wish -- one is from the Cornell Medical School (no advertising!). It could be added to the TMG Web menu under "other sites" if I am reading the help files aright. Similarly, if you can find and install a small program which suits you, it could be added to tools/external utilities by editing the APP.INI file.

 

Although I haven't tried it, I imagine that a toolbar icon could be set up for either technique.

 

All good wishes.

Thanks formerprof, I added one to my other websites. I was just hoping that the present TMG calculator could be revised to include that basic function. Guess I'm just lazy and would like everything tucked in neatly in one place without having to go elsewhere.
