A lot of people seem to be looking (I would argue not unreasonably) to
get the calendar to display;-
"John's 7th birthday", "John's 8th birthday, etc..
Any half decent calendar program can do this with a few mouse clicks
eg Calendar Creator.
BUT - it seems Outlook cannot. The following was kindly posted by the
nice people at: http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20040722.htm
"Is there any way to do this so the subject reads:
Contact Name's Birthday (Age)
Sorry, no. Outlook doesn't support reading a field to create a
subject. You could use code to create the birthdays, but rather than
creating recurring appointments, you'll create individual
appointments. If you aren't a code writing kind of guy, you can create
birthday appointments in Excel, using Excels features to increment the
subject fields then import them into Outlook. (Export one to learn the
fields you need to use.)
Note that if you use a table view, you can display the age field in
the view. Yeah, I know, it just isn't the same."
