include children and children's birthdays in contact details
Outlook is NOT a relational database - ergo - enabling a "one to many"
relationship (i.e. one contact to many children with details about the children such as birthdays). While you are asking for children's names and birthday's - other people would like to see "other" details - we know that by the types of questions/requests we get all the time. It becomes a "never-ending" process and at the end of the day - someone will still not be happy no matter what is available. Even if MS was to add the facility to add multiple children with birthday's (which I hope never happens) - what number of children would be the right number? There is no correct answer and someone will inevitably be unhappy with any choice (limitation) made. The alterantive is to add so much overhead for everyone when it reality, it would be a feature used by a very samll percentage of users.
