I've had to put people onto my Contacts in Outlook XP individually for a
husband and wife so to put their Birthday dates on, but is there no way to
link the Anniversary date to the spouse? At the moment I have to put the
Anniversary date for both partners and there are then 2 entries in Calendar
for each partner. I really only want one but have the details in there for
each partner.

Basically can they be linked?

Boss or Leader? A Boss creates fear; A Leader creates confidence. Bossism
creates resentment; Leadership breeds enthusiasm. A Boss says:I; A Leader
says:We. A Boss fixes blame; A Leader fixes mistakes. A Boss knows how; A
Leader shows how. Bossism makes work drudgery; Leadership makes work
interesting. A Boss relies on authority; A Leader relies on co-operation. A
Boss drives; A Leader leads. - Anonymous
 
No, the linkage is contact specific so you will get a link for each contact.
If you use the details page and just add the spouse to one contact, you can
use the notes field on the first page for additional email addresses and
other contact information - this will save you one contact. Of course, the
spouse's birthday will not show up since there is now no contact item for
them.

OK, thank you Milly.

Can you add a new field for "Spouse's Birthday"?

Also, can I add a birth date for each person (including year of birth)?

Thanks again, Milly.

I've put in a Relationship box on the designed form in the General tab, but
how do I apply this to the Contacts already populated?
