How do you get an actual age calculation in a query?

I just posted the following in the "forms" group, which I felt may
have been in error due to it really being a query based question...so
my apologies to followers of both groups, here is my question.

In my Client Query, I'd like to calculate exact age of the client...in
Years, and months. I'm wondering what expression I might use to do
this? It would be extremely beneficial to have the calculation to
display in a number of our forms and reports, and currently we are
using the following expression, which just gives us the actual age in
years alone, often leaving people to have to look back at the DOB to
count the months in their head:

=DateDiff("yyyy",[DateOfBirth],Date())+(Format([DateOfBirth],"mmdd")>Format(Date(),"mmdd"))

I'm wondering how that should be modified to give me a result of say
34.6, meaning 34 years, 6 months old. Many thanks!

Please do not multipost. If you think it is necessary, use cross-posting
(sending one post with up to 3 relevant newsgroup addresses on the post).

Apologies. Hence why my opening line was an apology because I
originally thought it belonged in the Forms group, and posted only
there. Afterward I felt that in error, and posted here where I thought
it more appropriate.

Hi Kevin,

Try this:

= Int(DateDiff("m", [DateOfBirth]) / 12) & " Years " &
DateDiff("m", [DateOfBirth], Date) Mod 12 & " Months"
