Need help creating a custom view in appointment view
Can someone help me design a custom view for re-occurring appointments
(birthdays) that sorts by month (without the year). I am looking for a view that would list all the Jan events together, all the Feb events together, etc. (the year doesn't matter since the events occur every year). The only view I have been able to create is completely chronological Jan-Dec 2004, Jan-Dec 2005 etc. Thanks |

Outlook can't do that, because it doesn't separate the date out as a separate field that you can filter on.

Tho, couldn't you pull the month out using a macro, put it in, say, the Mileage field and just use the Windows scheduler to run outlook once a day with the /autorun switch to fire off that macro? Not that I'd want to write that code, but... =) Well, ok, I'd do it for a fee. -- f.h. |

That might work, although /autorun has never worked for me. It also would take 12 filtered views, one for each month. But I don't think the o.p. was asking how to write code.

month "F.H. Muffman" wrote in message ... Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Can someone help me design a custom view for re-occurring appointments (birthdays) that sorts by month (without the year).

Thanks. I'll give it a try when I get back to my computer.
