Spouse Birthday

Steve K. · External Since: Feb 24, 2005 Posts: 1

Any way to add "Spouse's Birthday" into Outlook contact standard contact form
without designing a custom form. My ultimate objective is to have the
birthdate added as a reminder on my Calendar as a reoccurance (just as the
contact birthday and anniversary fields are)?

I amy have misunderstood your question, but on those important, reoccuring
dates, I simply do them in CALENDAR on the date and click the reoccurance so
they come up and use reminder as well a few days in advance.

Yes, that's a great way to do it -too simple to have occurred to me!
I was referring to the standard contact form with the birthday and anniversary
controls. We do all our inputting via that form and was hoping to keep the
routine the same, so that our clients birthdays (husband and wife) are
"remmebered" and tied directly to their contact form and other information. I
thought I may have missed a drop-down or something-or-other that allowed me
to enter both spouses' b-days. Thanks, I appreciate it!

Yeah, Outlook standard Contact forms is pretty much set up for business
contacts, where as most of my clients are husband and wife. There is a place
for only one birthday on the standard form. I guess I'll have to add another
birthday fieldafter exploring around a bit through some of the other forms.
Thanks for your help.

You can do this. I WANT to do this. But the problem is know how to program is
VB. I can design the form. Get the Form to populate adn show the info. The
problem is getting the date, reminder and the spouse name on the calendar. I
have searched for 3 years and NO ONE has posted the formula or give help on
this. They just say "Yes it can be done you have to do this in VB". Great.
But I do not know VB. So if you find out PLEASE PLEASE...PRETTY Please. Send
it to me. Smile

I have wanted this functionality for years. Adding the spouse and children's
birthday directly to the calendar tends to "clog" the calendar events.
Especially when you have over 1,000 contacts.

In addition to the anniversary date, I would like Outlook have a place to
store the Spouse and Children's birthday and trigger a pop up reminder on the
day of event.

I have read some threads that recommend creating a "new" contact for each
person. Obviously, this is not desired.

Thanks for any help. . .

That is the only way - or just create appointments for the other events.
You could enter them in Excel and import to create appointments.
