Hi

This should get you started.

Make a Userform

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
userform1.show
End Sub

Then in the userform have a place for the name, date, etc

For age try this
Assume BDay is the name of the birthday field

= Today() - BDay

for day of birth try this

= Text(BDay,"DDDD")

Hope this gets you started.
