Hi,

I am trying to find people in my contacts folder who have a birthday
specified , using advanced find. In the tool I select the tab"advanced". Then
I select as field "birthday" from personal fields. Add as condition "next
month" and then press "add to list", and do "Find now". Although I have
customers with birthdays in August (ie the next month), the find tool does
not give me any contacts. Why? Is this a bug? I have already had a look at
the KB, but I did not see anything relevant.

Thanks for any info,
Dirk Stevens

Why? Because what you enter in the contact form is the *birthdate* not the date of the next birthday occurrence. Outlook  has no feature for finding next month's birthdays, other than looking on the Calendar folder.
