with datediff all I can get it to return is months or a total of the
days...

so if the difference in dates is 12 months 4 days how do I adjust the
SQL to accommodate both?

So in February/March you want to return 1 month 2 days some years
and 1 month 1 day every fourth?

You'll need to write it yourself.

As DA Morgan pointed out, the question needs further clarification.
For instance, how many months + days are there from 2005-08-27 to
2005-04-03? From 2004-02-27 to 2005-09-03?
