Is it possible to add birdthdays for public folder contacts to your personal calendar?

I have a user asking me why their iPhone can alert them to birthdays of contacts from our shared company contacts, but Outlook doesn't display the birthdays.
Our environment is Office 365, Windows 7, Office Pro Plus 2010.
Is there any way to add the birthdays from contacts in a public folder to the users personal calendar? There are approximately 3,000 contacts in this public folder if that makes a difference (i.e. a solution that requires touching each contact
by hand won't work).

Would touching the contacts by macro work? I have a macro that does this at the end of this article:
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/contacts/adding-birthdays-and-anniversaries-to-outlooks-calendar/ - but its not working on my PF contacts. It might be better to use a macro to create birthday events in the calendar - I have a macro that is halfway
there, I'll make it work with my PF.
Are the birthdays in another calendar already? If so, copying them to the personal calendar could be the easiest (group by birthday category then drag.)

  • R12 Time Card - Is it possible to add criteria for Choice list?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add criteria for choice list created using HXC_CUI_CUSTOMn_V?
    If it is possible could you share which attribute to use and if could share sample code that will be great.
    Thanks

    You actually have a choice of both Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål.
    First select your text then:
    +Inspector > Text (T tab) > More > Language > Norsk Nynorsk / Norsk Bokmål+
    The method is to label the language you want to spell check with its native dictionary. So having done the above, when you spell check it will now use the Norwegian dictionaries.
    see p 115 +Working with Spelling Suggestions+ in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.
    If you don't see the Norwegian options it is because you haven't added them in the International preferences in your System preferences:
    +Menu > Finder > System Preferences… > International > Language > Edit List… > Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål > OK+
    If you drag them to the top of your language list they become the System language. If you leave them lower down they are available in other menus such as Pages Inspector palette.

  • Is it possible to add support for new database type in Data Modeler?

    Hi,
    I see that Data Modeler v.4 supports different versions of Oracle, DB2 and MS SQL. Is it possible to add support for a new database family,
    PostgreSQL for example? I hoped that RDBMS Site editor can do it, but so far I don't see any possibility to add XML files with metadata for a new RDBMS.
    I did it previously for PowerDesigner were it is possible to add and modify definitions for new relational databases.
    Thank you,

  • Is it possible to have Public Folder contacts set as default contacts on a blackberry

    I have a client who would like their public folder contacts set as the default contacts folder for their blackberry users. Is this possible?
    Thanks.

    The HDMI port on your set top box is almoste certainly an output port and can't be used for the Apple TV.
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

    Hi Robak,
    What kinds of operations do you typically do to your holiday photos (other than rotating them)?. Photoshop Touch is great for editing your photos with some of the same tools that are in the Photoshop program on computer but because Photoshop Touch is on a tablet, there are some limitations to consider. The largest resolution of image you can work with is 1600 x 1600 for example. This folder of 40 images from your Mexico pictures, were these pictures taken with a camera on the tablet? What kind of tablet of tablet are you using?

  • Export Public Folder contacts to CSV File using Exchange management Shell

    Hi All
    Is there a command i can run in the exchange management shell to export all public folder contacts (which are in many sub folders) to a CSV file?
    Any help on this appreciated.

    Hello Ben,
    Per my knowledge, you cannot use Exchange Management Shell to export the contacts in public folder to csv file.
    If you want to export contacts in public folder to a csv file, you can follow this way to do that:
    Open Outlook and create a Temp Contact Folder
    Move all the contacts to the Temp Contact Folder
    Use Outlook export contacts to csv file .

  • Is it possible to add the date to a photo in an iPhoto calendar?

    After a picture is dragged to a day on my calendar the date disappears, is it possible to add or restore the date? I am using the latest update of iPhoto.

    The photo in the calendar replaces the date. You can ctrl-click the photo and add a caption to show the day number.
    Clicking the disclosure triangle to the right of the caption will show a panel where you can edit the font (all this tested in iPhoto 9.5.1), but it does look funny, you'd be better off by not adding the day number:

  • Is it possible to add languages for spell check in pages?

    I was surprised to find that even though I bought iwork 09 in Norwegian, Norwegian is not on the list of languages one can choose from in the inspector, and I can not find the possibility of choosing norwegian spell-chek either??
    Is there anyway to add languages to the spell-check function in pages??
    grateful for tip (if there is a basic function i have overlooked) or other experiences!

  • Is it possible to add distribution lists to iPad Contacts?

    I synced my contacts from Microsoft Outlook but it did not sync my distribution lists.

    There is an app you can get in the App Store,which will permit sending emails to groups.  Check it out:

  • Is it possible to change timezones without changing time of all your old calendar entries?

    moved cities and when I use local timezone all my old calendar entries shift 5 hours.  anyway to stop that?

    Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but it tells me to either set it on or off.  If I leave it off, then all my entries from when I was living in NY are five hours off because I live in London now.  If I turn it on and set it to NY, then all my current entries are off.  I need to look back at my calendar (Yahoo) quite a bit, not just for pending appointments. 

  • HT204023 Is it possible to delete other devices that are connected to your personal hotspot?

    When I turn my personal hotspot on I have quite a few people that are already connected to my personal hotspot connecting automatically and I don't want them. Is there a way of resetting it so people don't automatically connect?

    Again: Change the password:
    You can change your Wi-Fi password by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot and then tapping the Wi-Fi password.
    Your Wi-Fi password must be at least eight characters long and use ASCII/Unicode characters. Use of non-ASCII characters (Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and so on) will prevent other devices from connecting.

  • Changed Outlook Contact Form back to IPM.Contact - now I can't save contact in Public Folder

    I recently changed the Contact form that we were using back to the default IPM.Contact. I did this so that it  would be consistent for only a few of us had a custom contact template to use and it made it difficult to share contact information. After
    changing the contact default back to IPM.Contact and changing all the contacts to reflect the default Message class, no can add a contact to the Public Folder contact file. I have tried several different setting for the permsion. Publishing Author, Publish
    Editor, Owner, it still gives the error
    The item cannot be saved to this folder. The folder was deleted, or you do not have permission. Do you want to save a copy of it in the degfualt folder for the item.
    When I changed the form back to IPM.Contact  i ran the omglass.exe to change it on all the contacts in the public folder. 
    Please advise for no contacts can now be added to our company contact list

    Hi,
    Please right-click this public folder, click Properties. In the General tab, make sure the field of "When posting to this folder, use" is set to IPM.Contact.
    Please restart Outlook with Outlook /checkclient switch(Start > Run > type Outlook /checkclient and enter) to have a try. If it fails, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try:
