A reader asks:
I have added a custom field on contacts which calcs age using this
formula:
IIf([Birthday]<>"None",DateDiff("yyyy",[Birthday],Date())-IIf(DateDiff("d",CDate(Month([Birthday])
& "/" & Day([Birthday]) & "/" & Year(Date())),Date())<0,1,0),"")
I see a recurring event on the birthday in the Calendar which says:
Contact Name's Birthday
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.
