MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / February 2006synchronizing contact info into the calendar
How do I synchronize contact information (birthdays/anniversaries) into the calendar? I enter them in the contact fields, but they don't show up in the calendar. See this product page, it does what you want: http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/prods/prod05.html  SignatureRicardo Silva [Outlook MVP] Add-ins for Microsoft(c) Outlook(c) http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/products.html > How do I synchronize contact information (birthdays/anniversaries) > into the calendar?

When you create a contact and enter a birth date or anniversary, Outlook _should_ enter that date as an event into the calendar. Are you saying that doesn't happen?

Brian, Yes, it doesn't always synch up. I entered an anniversary a couple of days ago, and it has yet to come up. Thanks for any advice... ~gina > Yes, it doesn't always synch up.

No, I did it afterward---but I saved it, doesn't that count?!?!? > No, I did it afterward---but I saved it, doesn't that count?!?!? As far as I know, if you add a date to a Contact record, either when you create it or after the fact with an update, it should get added to the Calendar. I just tried it with a Contact of mine. What type of account is this? SMTP? Exchange? What version of Outlook? Is the Calendar and/or Contacts folder in your delivery location? SignatureBrian Tillman Outlook 2000... what do you mean by delivery location? I use Outlook separately from my email. (synching my hotmail account to Outlook is another thing i've never been able to figure out!!!) sorry about the delays in responding to your messages. thanks for getting back to me. ~gina > > No, I did it afterward---but I saved it, doesn't that count?!?!? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > this?

If you add a birthdate to one of your "Outlook Today" Contact records, it should add that date to your Calendar automatically. > I use Outlook > separately from my email. (synching my hotmail account to Outlook is > another thing i've never been able to figure out!!!) That's because Outlook 2000 can't sync with Hotmail. SignatureBrian Tillman |
