Hi,

Wonder if someone here can answer this question!

In previous versions of Outlook I'm sure I've seen a feature where if you
store a birthday in the calendar, the birthday automatically increments
year-on-year, providing a helpful reminder of how old that person is...only
I can't find this feature in Outlook / Office 2003....

How / where do I find this feature?

Cheers


Lee
 
There's nothing built into Outlook that will do this...perhaps you had an
add-in or a macro that would do it? Where did the incremented age value
show up?

This was covered about a week ago in this newsgroup (I believe it was here)
but I cannot go back and find it.
It was something like making a yearly appointment with the persons birthday
and past date the message to the year in which they were born, then in each
year it occurred afterwards there would be a number in ( ) that showed how
many times this had happened before and from that you could read how old
they are.

Couldn't find that one when I searched Google Groups...but a different
method (using Contacts, not the Calendar) can be found here:

Personally, I just add the person's birth year to the birthday event title
(like Joe Schmoe's Birthday [1950]), and do the math :-) I use the square
brackets around the year because I found that if I use parentheses,
sometimes Outlook wants to put the year into the "Location" field.
