Display which birthday or anniversary for recurring event

[Guest]

At one time, I setup Outlook to display the occurance number of a recurring
event. for example, for birthdays and anniversaries, it would display which
birthday or anniversary number was occuring that year. I cannot figure out
how to do this now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Outlook doesn't support that - you can either use a custom form to show the
recurrence when you open it or create individual events for each occurrence
and include it in the subject.

Outlook for PDA's (IPAQ, etc.) used to do that. I synced my computer with my
IPAQ, and my IPAQ displayed which birthday it was. Then I synced the other
direction, and my computer showed which birthday it was. Possible was
accomplished by a 3rd party app, but none I recall loading for this. I saw
the feature and through it was new (in 2003) and liked it. Now that I have
2007, I cannot get it to work. May have only worked in concer with a PDA

No version of Outlook could do that natively. You are correct that a Windows
Mobile calendar will show the information in a day view, but that information
display never transferred to Outlook.
