More than one birthday

[Guest]

Hello,
In my contacts there is a space for 'spouse' and also for entering a birthday.
How can I enter the birthday of the contact and the spouse? And is there a
way to add names of children as well as their birthdays?
Best regards
Soz

Hello. I don't think there's an easy way to do what you want to. As a
church minister I was frustrated by the same thing. Now I completely
ignore the contacts birthday field, and have them in the calendar as
annual repeating events. I preface each one with the letters "BD"
followed by the person's name. The "BD" allows me to sort/filter etc. on
them. I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, but it's
worked very well for me over several years, and three different versions
of Outlook. Hope this helps.

Would like to suggest another way to filter for all Birthdays: you can label
the event by right-clicking on it and selecting Label (followed by whatever
colour you want). You can also modify the default Label names by editing
them. Unfortunately, you can't add more colours...

THen when filtering, just filter by the same label.
