Filter out All Contacts that have birthday in 5 days

B

Bert_Bert

Hi,
I have created special Form with my own Birthday field of Date/time type.
All my contacts are based on this form and have birthday filled in. I did
not want to use the built-in feature because it puts some records into
calenda\r and is not fully under my control.

OK, now I want to create automatif formating rule to show in RED color all
the contacts, for which their birthdate (i.e. regardless the year) will
happen in 5 days.

So I created the following condition for my user-defined "Birthday"

is between
(Dateserial( year([Birthday]), month(now), day(now) ))
and
(10 days after dateserial( year([Birthday]), month(now), day(now) ))

that is, I am trying to transform current date back to the Birthday to be
able to pass it as a filtered value

Filtering parser does not return any error, however, my contacts that fall
into this scope are not in RED color, there must be some mistake.

I welcome any other tip how to reach this, however, I do not want to bind it
to my Calendar in any way, because I want to keep the possibility to
add/remove contacts and keep the list of birthday up-to date and only at one
single place without scripts, events and difficulties connected with such a
solution.

Thanks for any tips

:)
