Hello,

I have many contacs and quite a few of them are married. If I enter both
people as contacts and set their anniversary dates, I see boths dates in the
calendar. Is there a way to tell Outlook to display only one of them on a
given date. Obviously if Jack and Jill Smith are marries to one another their
anniversary would occur on the same date.

thanks in advance.

And how would Outlook "know" that Jack and Jill are married to each other???
Jack could be married to Mary and Jill to Tom, right? Or are they the only
people in the entire world who got married on that date?

Milly,

I don't believe the tone of your answer was inline with the forum especially
since you claim to be a MVP. Let me rephrase the question...Is there a way to
supress anniversary dates even though a date has been entered. Meaing if Jack
and Jill were both listed as contacts I could have both of their birthdays
show up, but tell Outlook not to display the anniversary date for one of them?

thanks again. a professional answer would be appreciated.

thanks,
mitch

You can omit the anniversary date from one of the contacts to avoid the
duplicate posting. Pick one spouse for whom to do this and then stick with
it in the future.

BTW, how I respond to questions is directly related to the preposition that
Outlook is psychic. It is not.
