Default Age Limit Validation Rule

You can use a table-level validation rule for this.

Open the table in Design view, click on Properties icon on toolbar, and
enter this expression in the Validation Rule box:

DateDiff("yyyy",[mydate],Date())+(Format("Date","mmdd")Format([mydate],"mmdd"))=18

Close the Properties window and save the table.

We have the customers DOB in format (dd/mm/yyyy)and are trying to limit

Are there any validation rules to help us achieve this...?
