Anniversary's in Calendar

[The FD]

I hope someone can answer this for me.

How do you put an anniversary in your calendar without putting a start date? Is it possible?

I have an anniversary which shows up with a line through the little arrows which stand for a recurring item.

This item doesn't show a year (number in brackets) after it on my PDA.

I have no idea how I have done this, but would want to replicate it because this would be useful for some anniversary's where I don't know the start year.

If you insert the birthday or anniversary date in the Contacts' details, then it will show up in the calendar with the number in brackets.

Check this, but I think you have to sync the PDA with Outlook on the PC for it to do this, as I don't think the anniversaries or birthdays show up if you just alter the Contact details on the PDA - but try it.

What about for having St Patrick's day showing on your PPC. There is no start year, it is the same day every year so I don't want to have to manually put it in every year!

Any ideas for that?

Just put it in as a recuring item! There is no need to have a start year or even a year count in brackets for this type of reminder

BTW, forget St Pats day and don't forget to add April 23rd :p

Sorry I don't get this. If I put it in as a recurring item on an anual basis, as an all day event, then next year it automatically has a 1 in brackets after it. I don't see a way of putting it as a recurring item and not getting the year count! If it is weekly or monthly then it doesn't have it, but yearly does?

Please explain further if I am being a bit daft!

Should I put it as a timed entry?

For holidays for a specific country, in Outlook at the desktop go to options calendar options - add holidays, and choose your country. Then sync your PDA and you'll have national holidays.
For anniversary, use the contacts. That way you'll have them on calendar every year. Even if you don't know the year make a guess.
