auto calculate age from birthdate in Calendar

[Guest]

I Think it would be great if Outlooks Calendar program would automatically
calculate a person's age in Calendar. Calendarscope (www.calendarscope.com)
allows you to enter a birthday in the calendar and if you put in their birth
date it automatically calculates their age for you each year. That way you
not only get a reminder of the birthdays that are important but which one it
is. Its great for remembering the milestone birthdays of family and friends..

I could have sworn the last time a borthdate appeared on my calendar that
the person's age was in parentheses following their name. Now I can't find
it.

Brian, are you getting the age because you've entered into the appointment,
or is there a way to get a reminder to come up from a person's contact info?
I just enter an all day appointment for all birthdays, and then that comes up
as reminder. When I remember, I put the year of birth into the notes, so can
do the math.

Are you saying there is some other way of getting a birthday reminder of any
sort? Please tell, as I'd be interested.

I put the person in as a Contact and then add their birthdate top the
Contact record. Outlook automatically enters it into the calendar with a
reminder.

Yes it does enter the birthday in automaticly, however it does not show the
age of the contact that has a birthday, and it does not show any contact info
about the person who has a birthday. Is it possible to get this in anyway?

You'll have to write the code yourself. Here's an example:

That form is for outlook 2003, is there a similar form for outlook 2007? I
know I can get the age on the contact with the other code. However I wonder
if it is possible to get it in the calender right behind the birthday
subject? For example Arne's Birthday xx, where xx is the age number.
