Multible Birthdays for single contact?

Aibolit66 · 11-16-06, 08:28 AM

Hi, I am trying to figure out if it is possible? I have PI2007 and need to store multiple birthdays for the same contact. i.e. my friends, thier wifes and children live the same place, so I do not need multiple entries, but would like to set up reminders for thir birthdays. Can It be done in PI, or is it special apps?
Got in trouble already couple of times

. Need more RAM for my brain

Thanks

I don't think you can do it. Just duplicate the contact, change the name to the wife or the kids and then add a birthday. That's what I do. I'm sure you won't know whose birthday it is when a birthday reminder pops up and there is like 5 names in the family.

He's right. You'd need to assign separate contacts or simply set a recurring all day alarm with a note as to relation to who and a link to that contact.
I'd recommend the separate contacts as a better long term strategy and then filing the less needed ones in a category you don't need.

Can both a Birthday and an Anniversary be set? BTW, I set up a separate contact for each individual.

I'm wondering why one person needs to be born more than once. :rolling:

yes, I don't think theres a problem there. except you'll end up with duplicates for the aniversaries...I.E. Mom's anniversary and Dad's anniversary...In my case the same

I'm a scandinavian - but I got a silver Ganesh around my neck since my first visit to Goa a few years ago.
Will go visit India soon again - if Ganesh permits :p
