I am looking for a way to generate a "new" report that is basically a birthday list. I'm sure it is in there, but I just haven't located it yet.
I did a search and didn't see anything, so hopefully this isn't a repeat question.
Thanks,
Bill

Generating Birthday lists
Hello Bill
You could use the "export BDM to iCal" from the File drop down menu.
I haven't used the facility so don't know what sort of results you'd get

Hi Bill,
Not used Export BDM to iCal either but that would put lots of entries into iCal which may not be what you wanted.
You can use the People... Index menu item to export the data to a .csv file (for use in Numbers, OpenOffice or M$Excel) and that does include a column with the date of birth in.
Problem there is that the date is exported as quoted text as it can contain "bef 30 Jun 1900" etc depending how you have entered your dates.
Were you after a list of Birthdays for living individuals and if so, have you ensured that everyone else has a date of death or appropriate entry to signify the fact? (I believe you can put YES in the date field to indicate to iFamily that the person is dead for inclusion in the various reports).
If you can describe exactly what you were after maybe Warwick can help.
