Why, oh why don't you test this for yourself?
It is so easy:
<%
function age(born,died)
age = DateDiff("yyyy", born, died) +_
(died < DateSerial(Year(died), Month(born), Day(born)))
end function
born = #2004/02/29#
died = #2005/02/28#
response.write age(born, died) ' 0
born = #2004/02/28#
died = #2005/02/28#
response.write age(born, died) ' 1
born = #2004/02/29#
died = #2005/03/01#
response.write age(born, died) ' 1
born = #2003/02/28#
died = #2004/02/29#
response.write age(born, died) ' 1
born = #1999/02/28#
died = #2000/02/29#
response.write age(born, died) ' 1
' error as expected: died = #2100/02/29#
