Printing calendar of dates from Appleworks database

Question

Is there a calendar program that will print a monthly calendar and pull birthdays and anniversaries from an appleworks database file (or from a bento file)? This is much like mailmerge does, except I want the calendar date to pull all records with that date as a birthday or anniversary.

Actually, it's quite different from a mail merge, and quite a bit more complicated.
A mail merge inserts data from a specific field into a specific location a word processor document, and produces a separate document for each visible record in the database.
Using the AppleWorks database, you could get separate lists of anniversaries and birthdays for a single month, then use cut and paste to transfer those into a (spreadsheet) calendar either one at a time or collectively as a list below the calendar grid.
I see a few issues that may arise with long names and multiple b'days/annivs on the same date.
Post a reply if you want to pursue this.
