Default Need help creating a custom view in appointment view

Can someone help me design a custom view for re-occurring
appointments (birthdays) that sorts by month (without the year).

I am looking for a view that would list all the Jan events together,
all the Feb events together, etc. (the year doesn't matter since the
events occur every year). The only view I have been able to create
is completely chronological Jan-Dec 2004, Jan-Dec 2005 etc.

Outlook can't do that, because it doesn't separate the date out as a
separate field that you can filter on.


Tho, couldn't you pull the month out using a macro, put it in, say, the
Mileage field and just use the Windows scheduler to run outlook once a day
with the /autorun switch to fire off that macro?

Not that I'd want to write that code, but... =)

Well, ok, I'd do it for a fee.
