Alright so from all the research I did about finding a solution to put my contact's birthday's into my calendar, Outlook is definetly required? I guess it must've slipped my mind somehow that Outlook was necessary, 'cause I never noticed it until I upgraded to WM6 and found that, with a week outside of updating to a non-outlook PC.
So is it true? That Outlook is the one who was giving me all those happy reminders of birthdays and anniversaries? Or is my neverending search for some registry key will continue for months to come?
like on pc outlook include calender, contacts and mailbox
Is there any application that can show you birthdays from the contact list on the Today screen? something like the calendar today plugin that show you the appointments? I'm really frustrated because it didn't shows birthdays, i found a solution to sync it with Outlook 2007 and add all birthdays as recurring appointments but isn't there an easier way to do this? and what if i change some b-day in the contacts the calendar will be out of sync,
like this?

spd diary (and a lot of other calendar plugins) support showing birthdays mixed with the appointments. on top of that, spb diary also supports a tab with only the upcoming birthdays
Two Outlook Calendars
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have expanded our company and we are now keeping 2 calendars in our outlook. We have 4smartphone set up and it syncs both of our outlook calendars with no problems.
I am trying to get both of the calendars to sync to my phone..
Is it possible to sync two calendars, from the same outlook program to the phone.
We have set up 2 calendars within the same running version of outlook and we can view them both at the same time side beside etc but they do not seem to sync to the phone.
Anyone got an idea on how to make this work?
THanks

I think it's possible, but you risk duplicating all the entries between the two.
So, what happens is you sync Calendar A, then Calendar B. Then when you sync after that, because your device has only one calendar database, it syncs ALL the appoinments from both A & B to each on your PC.
Hope it made sense, but to do it, it should be just a matter of setting up a connection twice, one for each.
2 Calendars
I understand what you are saying, but i think i might not have been clear.
In Outlook 2007 you can have as many sub-calendars as you want.
We are now using 2,
Calendar 1 syncs with 4smartphone.net and syncs with my phone using 4smartphone.net
Calendar 2, which is a sub calendar syncs with 4smartphone.net just fine, but doesnt sync with my phone.
I guess my question would really be, how to sync a sub calendar and main calendar with my phone.

Sorry, missed the part about using a seperate server. I thought you meant through AS or WMDC, try contacting your server.
server
no its not on a seperate server
i have 1 program of outlook running on my desktop
within outlook i have 2 calendars open
with outlook 2007 you can have as many sub calenders as you want.
all the sub folders sync with my 4smartphone.net account no problems at all
but when i activesync it only takes the main calendar...
i need it to sync the subs also, like
email
you can pick which folders to sync but there is no option for calendars to do teh same.
Maybe if you had two different activesinc .....????? I really don't know but you would have to figure out how to have one activesinc syncronize one calendar and another activesinc sycronize the other but I have no idea how you would set this up. If there is another program out there that can also syncronize then use activesinc for one and the other for the other calendar.
Just thought, but I really don't even know if anything like this would be possible. I might just be right out in left field with this line of thinking.
Alright, how many .pst files do you have for outlook, and check what options you have for syncing the calendar through AS.

I have several calendars, contacts and task folders that I sync. Use pocket mirror professional. I do believe this is what you need. There is a trial demo so give it a shot. A valuable tool for myself.
I have all this in 1 .pst file
just extra sub calendars
Hello everybody and a Happy New Year,
I would like to know if it's possible to automatically transfer (take over) the birthday dates of my contacts in the calendar as recurring events (reminders), to be able to display them on the "Today" screen. I would like to do this without additional software, if it's possible. I have the english version of Windows 2003 SE on my Dell Axim X30i PDA (firmware A05).
Thank you very much in advance for each advice!

I know there is a program todo it, i'll have to find it tonight.... The main problem would be that i don't know if it supports wm 2003.....
Thank you for your reply. So you mean is not possible without an additional software? So in WM2003 the contacts birthday datas will not be automatically transfered in Calender as reccuring events?
There is a program called "darkannifalert" That says it will add alerts for contacts birthdays (i have never tried it but i imagine it does what it says ) No wm does not natively support adding birthdays to your calender. You can give the program a shot but it probably was made for wm5 and later (you're 3 versions of wm behind, so it will be a little harder to find 3rd party apps )
As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone
"As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone"
but...when I go to phone's calender ..view by month ...that day would not be highlighted ..but when i click into taht day ..the word who birthday appeal ..is normal to wm?
Hello,
I'm having a problem when syncing my Outlook calendar to my phone. All recurring appointments are shifted 2 hours up, when they're synced to my telephone. It's quite weird, as my other appointments don't shift.
I use Outlook 2007, combined with the Outlook Connector so that I have the same calendar both on my desktop as on my laptop.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
Thank you,
Pmaene
