my contact card has date calanders next to birthday. I added fields for
spouses and childrens birthdays. Is there a way to add the drop down calander
next to these fields in outlook?

Outlook itself does not include any date picker control (which, by the way, is one reason why the first page of the appointment, journal, and task forms is not editable). See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/datepick.htm for controls you can add.

BTW, what you are customizing is called a "form," not a "card." FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public
.outlook.program_forms

How did you add them? Were you designing a form? What version of Outlook?

I am Using the defult contact card in outlook 2000. I know how to change
fields, but i want to be able to set the cards up so I have multiple date
calander drop down boxes for the spouses and kids of my clients so the show
automatically on my calander as recurrences. Now i have fields for them added
but I can only add the information for them when I am in the detailed address
view for the card, and this will not put it on a calander automatically to
add a sieries of recurrences.
