how to Add the birthday appt icon in the contact detail?

[Tagman]

Hi,

I am using CDO 1.21 and Outlook 2000. I found that if I choose the birthday by
click, Outlook will add the appointment for that birthday in calendar and then make that
appointment vision in the contact's note area. also, the outlook set the contact of the
birthday appointment into the contacts list. Therefore, there is an effect that when
user delete the contact, outlook will delete the corresponding birthday.

I know how to create the contact and birthday appointment
The question is ...
How to add the contact into the appointment's contacts list?
How to add the birthday appointment into the contact's Note? (I have set the birthday in
the contact detail, but I found that I can only set the date, but not making any icon in
the text area of the contact)

Regards,
Tony

Hi Tony,

using the OOM instead of CDO you can:

How to add the contact into the appointment's contacts list?

AppointmentItem.Links.Add ContactItem

How to add the birthday appointment into the contact's Note?

ContactItem.Attachments.Add AppointmentItem, olByValue

Hi,

Anyone knows how to do the below actions using CDO/MAPI?

1.How to add the contact into the appointment's contacts list?
2.How to add the birthday appointment into the contact's Note?

Because I need to access to lots of contacts but OOM is very slow.

Tony

Hi,

Does anyone know how to do it by CDO?

I need to use CDO beause OOM is very slow comparing to CDO. Because I need to access to
lots of contacts and appointment.

Hi Tony,

you could use CDO for the time expensive loops and the OOM for this both
tasks only.

In which case do you need this function?
