wrote: you'll need a custom form that calculates the date - http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/age_form.htm Thanks! Ok, I have a problem - I went there and the formula was there [IIf([Birthday]"None",DateDiff("yyyy",[Birthday],Date())-IIf(DateDiff("d",CDate(Month([Birthday]) & "/" & Day([Birthday]) & "/" & Year(Date())),Date())0,1,0),"")] , but the template (and/or .zip) was unavailable. So, I attempted to make a form myself. I copied the formula and opened Outlook -Contacts -View - Arrange By - Current View - Customize Current View - Fields to create a custom contact field (and theoretically, insert the formula) but there is no option to make a "new field". No doubt, I'm doing something wrong. I feel like I'm ***almost there*** but I don't know anything about this kind of thing. I thought this would be a really simple "copy and paste" customization. OOPS. Plus, I apparently need another program to retroactively activate the formula and I'm impatient and frustrated. I know, it doesn't do any good, but there you are. Any help?

BTW, What's the difference between a "form" and a "template"?

With the one I'm used to, I can put in betsy's date of birth and the program will tell me that it's her 13th birthday ... and keep track of it the next year, etc. Can outlook do this? If not, is there a 3rd party program that does this?

They are mostly the same - a form is published, a template is in the windows
file system. Forms with script need published so the script works.
