Display Contact's age in recurring Calendar item

[jct38]

I'd like Outlook to display a contact's age (calculated from their date of
birth in the "birthday" field using code for a custom field which can be
found elsewhere on this forum) in the recurring calendar item which is
automatically created when a birthday is added to a contact. Then, when the
alarm for a birthday goes off for the calendar item I'll be able to see the
person's age immediately, rather than then having to look up the person in
Contacts.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, there is some code at http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/calcage.htm
which can calculate the person's age in a custom field if you enter their
birthdate on the Details tab, but you won't see that information in your
appointment for their birthday.

Personally, when adding birthdays to my calendar, I put the year of the
person's birth in square brackets after the word "Birthday" -- for example,
Mary's Birthday [1957]. Don't use parentheses around the year -- Outlook
may treat the year as a Location for the event.
