Age of Contact

[Jeff Schmidt]

Unless I lost my mind, when I entered contact information
for birthdays and anniversaries, the item that showed up
on the calendar would have the persons "age" in
parenthesis. eg.. Jeff Schmidt Birthday (40). For some
reason this is no longer happening, and I would like to
have it show the persons age or anniversary year in the
calender. Is there a way to do this automatically? Did
I inadvertenly change a setting?

Thanks!

Sadly, I think you've lost your mind
I've never seen it on any of my Calendars, even when the correct birth year
is entered.

Well, it's safe to say you've not lost your mind. I
remember seeing a plugin for this a long time ago. So,
it's not there by default, must have the plugin, might not
be called a plugin, but...

No! No! She hasn't lost her mind! I saw it myself in Outlook 2000,
which I am just learning to use. But I can't remember where. Just
poking around and ran onto the show age in years feature. I didn't
choose it, because I don't want to be reminded of how old I am.

She is NOT CRAZY!
YOU ARE!!! ;-)

I agree with Russ. No version of Outlook has never had such a feature out of
the box. However, it could be part of some Outlook add-in or with a custom
formula field (see

I'm getting closer... I discovered that the "age in
years" was not showing up on my Outlook 2003 PC version,
but instead the age in years was showing up on my Ipaq
5550 with PPC 2003. So it still begs the question, if it
can show up on the hand held why not on the lap top?

Help, and thank you!

Because they're running two different programs that just happen to use the
same data.
