I am trying to create a calculated field in FileMaker Pro that will
return the number of days since a date located in another field.  For
example, if today is the 13th of August, I want to know how many days
have passed since (for example) June 27th, 1991.  Is there a simple
way to do this?  The calculation functions don't seem to lend
themselves well to this task, but I may not be using them properly. 
Can anyone help me out with this?
