When the Microsoft Access start it should automatically pick up the system date and update members’ age groups correctly in the form . For example if a person’s date of birth was yesterday and they turned 45 years old then the system would update their agegroup from 40 to 45.

lolodede,
You could do this a couple of ways: either place the code to calculate the age group in an Event (On_Open for a continuous form displaying multiple records at once or On_Current if you are displaying one record at a time) to update the displayed value in "Age Group" or create a non-visible calculated field for each record (place the age calculation using System Date vs. DOB in it) and run the "Age Group" off of that using its value as your criteria.

I'm going to move this to the Access forum as it's an Access question.
JennDub has explained how to do this - Use a calculation either in the underlying query or in the control on the form.
Let us know how you get on with this.Comment

Well, why don't you start by telling us what you have so far. Try to be as precise as possible, and to include everything that is related to this issue. It's hard to help with details when we don't know names of things like tables and fields that are involved.
The less you miss out of what we need the fewer times we'll have to ask for it.Comment
