adverbs and hyphens.

0 Hello,02br
02br
00I wonder if you could help me a little with adverbs and hyphens? Am I correct in thinking any sentence or phrase used adverbially doesn't require a hyphen? Such as:02br
02br
00"Mr Jones, who will be 45-years-old next month." So this would be incorrect and should read "Mr Jones, who will be 45 years old next month"?02br
02br
00"Mr Jones will be 45 years old next month" This should be hyphenated as there is no adverb?02br
02br
00"Mr Jones will be 45 years old next month; he will then be a 45-year-old man" This is wrong and should be the other way around? for example "Mr Jones will be 45-years-old next month; he will then be a 45 year old man"?02br
02br
00Any help on this subject will be much appreciated. 0-
