Re: [ecco_pro] Re: Basic EccoPro Calendar/PhoneBook queries

Lindsay

I have set up both birthdays and anniversaries 
under "Scheduling" which is part of EccoExe and 
it works. I have many dates in there and they 
show up in Tickler on the appropriate date. If 
you click on either Birthday or Anniversary and 
look at properties you can set it the way you want.
hope this helps
