Are you trying to calculate the age of a person with a specific date in mind? This one stumped me for the longest time, but it is possible using the following formula in a query:

Age: DateDiff("d",[date_of_birth],#9/20/2008#)/365.25

[date_of_birth] is of course the name of the field from which I have pulled the birth date of participants on a table. #9/20/2008# is the date that I am seeking to find the age of the person at that time. If you were to want to see what is was as of now, then you would replace #9/20/2008# with date()

This gets the the age field as accurate as possible. You will need to be sure to have the field allow decimals, otherwise it will round up the amount in the calculated field (for example, 39.6 would round to 40 which would make the participant really adamant about telling you that you're wrong!!)

Be sure to shrink the size of the field in your report to only show the first two digits of age, and you're done! I don't know, there may be a simpler way, but this is how I got through the problem for myself.
