Thank you adamwilson86. I shall try that out. Can you also suggest me a way in which a birthday can show up in a tiddlers just 30 days before and in another tiddler irrespective of the leadtime? I want a tiddler to remind me of birthdays 30 days earlier but in another tiddler I need to see all the birthdays I have collected so far.
