What I usually do is put the person's birth year in square brackets in the
subject line. I have to do the math in my head but it's not too hard ;-)
The reason I use square brackets instead of parenthesis is that Outlook will
often put anything in parentheses in the subject line into the Location field.

Since the birthdays and anniversaries are seldom associated with a contact,
this won't help, but I appreciate the advise. Like I told Diane, I'm not
impressed that Outlook doesn't work the same on the PC as it does on my
mobile device. Bummer!

On my Pocket PC, when I put in a birthday or anniversary, it displays
the number of years since inception. For instance, I have a friend
who's birthday in on 3/22. On my Pocket PC, after the text "Debi H's
BD," in parenthesis it has (50), noting that she'll be 50 years old.
In Outlook, though the info is synced with the proper birth year,
there's no notation of her age. Is there a way to get that to show on
the Outlook calendar when you print it?

You might be able to do this with code.
