When I reset and sync my XDA2 there is no highlight in the calender to show an entry. When I go into the day view I see the entires, mostly birthday and anniversary entries and a few meetings etc.
Is there a way to get them to be highlight in the month and yearly view as in Outlook 2000 on my PC. It should show a wee triangle or square on the PPC Outlook according to the book.
Its used a lot by me to review the month and see the dates that are highlighted.
Please help asap,
Thanks,

i believe if they are made as birthdays and such in contacts then they always display like that
They used to display the boxes on the monthly view
They used to display the notifications boxes under the monthly view before I reset and reinstall the XDA2. I'm 90% sure they did.
A triangle for the mettings and a box for birthdays and anniversaries.
So can anyone confirm this?
well mine dont display birthdays and such under the calander
and i get a triangle if the meeting is not for that long
and a square if it's an all day event
not sure why birthdays are not shown
Strange
I am very sure it used to until I reset. Must have just been the meetings I could see then.
It is very useful to be able to review the mouth view and see dates that have entires. Just gonna have to manually check them in advance or change all my reminder dates.
If anyone else has any ideas if this can be done let me know.
Thanks
Birthdays wont display any shape because the STATUS field is by the default FREE. If you try to edit the STATUS field of a birthday entry into something that is not FREE, then it will display a box.
Now, if anyone of you knows how to configure your outlook or XDA wherein auto-generation of birthday entries from Contacts to Calendar will have a non-FREE status, please let me know so we could all see birthday indicator in our calendars. Then everybody's happy
I had them all changed in outlook to Tentative, so they would display an empty square.
two things happened :
- installing Pocket Informant & de-installing
- a hard reset
and then I noticed they were all set to free again & synced to outlook, so I had to change them all manually again.
if you shell out for a program such as KitaraGenesis, you can have a today screen plugin showing all kinds of different events / birthdays etc. It works through the Cal database so anything you put in Outlook's calendar will show through in KG. I bought it a year ago and I think it's great. It even links tasks.

Make sure that you sync the past 4 weeks of appointments and don't have any category filters on.
I use PI myself, I can recommend that for your needs too.

After synching laptop to Tilt with Outlook 2007, the birthdate of people in the contacts shows up on the Tilt as one day earlier than the day recorded on the laptop. Anybody else experience this problem.
My problem is almost the same.
Flashed my BlueAngel to WM6.1 and now birthday and anniversary fields in Outlook XP and PocketOutlook (contacts and calendar) are set one day early.
The really funny part is, that in thunderbird (synced with birdiesync) I have the right dates in addressbook, but not in the lightning calendar as reminders.
Any solution for this?
Please check the timezone on your Laptop / PC and your phone.
ActiveSync changes appointments and other times based on the difference in timezones so they would actually appear "on time".
If there is a large enough difference between PC and Phone they may shift a whole day.
Also please avoid posting questions in the news forum. It is for news only!
I'm not sure how these calendar events came to be on my ppc, except perhaps that a previous sync or software app created all day events every year from the day someone was born until the present for their birthday, etc.
Now I get errors when I sync, because it can't transfer these OLD appointments. Is there any easy way to clear the calendar of all appt data from before 2005 or such?
I have a birthday issue. When I enter my birthday of 9-1-1949 in the Outlook 2007 contacts area it adds the birthday to the calendar correctly on my desktop computer. However, when I sync my Fuze with my computer and then open the calendar on the Fuze, it has put my birthday in the wrong place. On the Fuze my birthday shows up as January 1 in the calendar area. (It is correct in the contact area.) It's crazy. All other birthdays are correct.The same issue occured when I was using Outlook 2003. I purchased Outlook 2007 hoping to solve it, but it didn't. It must be an issue with the software on the FUZE, or a bug in the sync process.
If anyone knows how to correct it, I would appreciate your help. It's a small thing I realize, but frustrating.
Try creating the date on the device. It might be a sync issue rather than an issue with one or other of the software packages.
Thanks for the suggestion l3v5y. I created my birthday in the FUZE contacts profile. It didn't insert the birthday anywhere in my calendar. Any other ideas?
Hi,
i have enabled "Show contact's birthdays" in S Planner's settings and it showed me all birthdays from Contacts(I have all contacts on phone, not synced with google). Today i deleted all events for this month and it also deleted all birthdays for this month. I tried restoring this birthdays but i can't. I also noticed that all of this birthdays are not shown even next year.
If anyone have idea how can i get back this birthdays i would be really thankful.
