I've created some annual events. Some started several years ago and continue
into the future. For example, Joe's birthday is every January 25. I created
the event in Outlook in 2004 and it doesn't have an end date. I am using
Outlook 2007.

I wish to find and print out "this year's" occurence of the recurring event.
What field can I use in Advanced Find to do this? If it's not in Advanced
Find, then where do I look?

THANKS!!

There is not "this year's" occurrence. Recurring events have their
recurrences calculated on the fly. They do not exist as separate entities
and cannot be found with a search.

But why not just display January 25 of this year in a day/week/month view
and print that? Or open January 25, double-click the event to open it, and
print?

Brian: Thank you for your fast reply. If it was just one event, you're right
to just print that event. But I have about 30 annual events throughout the
year and wish to print out a list of this year's items.

I tried the Recurring Appointments View and it shows the Recurrence Range
Start and End plus Recurrence Pattern, but not the date this year.

If that's the best Outlook can do, so be it.

OK, try this. (I'm not at my OL 2007 system right now, so these menu items
might be wrong. YOu should be able to find the correct ones, however.)
While in the Calendar, click View>Current View>Define Views. Select
"Day/Week/Month" and choose Copy. Give the copy a name like "Annual
Calendar" (there will already be an "Annual Event", but that's a table
view). Click OK. Click Filter. Click the Advanced tab. In the Field
drop-down, hover over "All Applointment Fields" and click "Recurrence".
Change the "Value" drop-down to "yearly". CLick "Add to List", then OK,
then OK. Click "Apply View". You should now have a Day/Week/Month view
that will show you only the yearly recurring events. You can print from
this, one day or week or month at a time.
