dropped dates - 3/16/2015 10:07:04 PM    Florence   Posts: 7 Joined: 12/28/2014 Status: offline After I enter the name in the text box I enter the date of birth. Often the program drops this date. Does not appear dropped until I print. Any ideas? Post #: 1

First, when you say "text box," do you mean a text box in the way that Calendar Creator uses text boxes, or are you referring to a calendar Event? If it's an Event, are you entering a date in the Start Date field, or selecting a date by using the box to the right of the Start Date that provides a date selector tool? I don't understand that the date is dropped, since a date normally won't appear for an event. _____________________________ David (in reply to Florence) Post #: 2

Do you have several other events in the cell? If so, it's possible that the text is being truncated in order to fit all events into the cell. Please try to enter one of the events where the year doesn't appear into an empty cell and let us know what you see. _____________________________ David (in reply to Florence) Post #: 4

As an example, let's say Tom was born March 31, 1999. In the Modify Event box, put Tom's birth date in the Start Date data field, and choose Every Year as your repeat rule. Then click the Functions button to bring up the Functions dialog box. Select the function &birthday, click the Paste Function button, and type "Tom's" in the box. When you go back to the calendar view, in the March 31 cell, you will see "Tom's 16th Birthday". The program automatically calculates and prints the age!
