========================== You've lost me, James ... maybe you are just doing it backwards? If you add the birthday to the Contact first, it is automatically added to the calendar as a recurring event ... isn't that what you want? ========================== AHA! Thank you, Linda First I did not know where to add it to the contact I was just stuffing a note in the general comment area. And you are right if I put it in the Contact first (which I never knew to do) it IS auto added to the calendar THANK YOU!
