*Puts on dunce cap*

Yeah, you're right.  If I wanted all contacts age 47+, I could:

select CONTACTID from CONTACTS where CBIRTHDAY < '11/02/1960'

select CONTACTID from CONTACTS where CBIRTHDAY < ('Now' - ([Age X] * 365))
(Precalculate the date and put it in query string).

I should've thought of that, but that's why I ask the experts  :)  Problem 
solved.  Thanks everyone.
