    It can seem odd, but try using AddYears, but with a negative number:

    With DirectCast(pcontrol, DateTimePicker)
  .Value = .Value.AddYears(-18)
End With

    or as MarkJ points out, trying to subtract it from now:

    With DirectCast(pcontrol, DateTimePicker)
  .Value = Now.AddYears(-18)
End With
